  1. Setting Up Cloudflare Tunnel:

  • Prerequisites

    • Domain Name: Purchase a domain from a registrar of your choice. Look for affordable options.
    • Cloudflare Account: Sign up for a free account at Cloudflare.

  • Steps to Set Up Cloudflare Tunnel

    • Purchase a Domain

    • Choose and purchase a domain from a domain registrar.

  • Configure DNS with Cloudflare

  • Log in to your Cloudflare account.

  • Add your site: Click on "Add a Site" and follow the prompts to add your domain.

  • Cloudflare will provide you with nameserver (DNS) information.

  • Log in to your domain registrar’s dashboard.

  • Update DNS: Replace your existing nameservers with those provided by Cloudflare. This process might take anywhere from 5 to 24 hours to propagate.

  • Create a Cloudflare Tunnel

    • Once DNS changes have propagated (Cloudflare will notify you by email), go back to the Cloudflare dashboard.
    • Click on "Zero Trust" from the menu.
    • Navigate to "Network" -> "Tunnels" -> "Create a Tunnel".
    • Name your Tunnel: You can choose any name that helps you identify it.
    • Choose Environment: Select "Docker" if using Docker or "Debian" for Ubuntu.

  • Configure Public Hostname

    • Click on "Public Hostname" -> "Add a Public Hostname".
    • Enter your chosen subdomain and domain. For example, subdomain.yourdomain.com.
    • Type: Select "HTTP".
    • URL: Enter the static IP address and port of your Ubuntu server. For example, if your server’s IP is 192.168.1.100 and your web server is running on port 80, enter 192.168.1.100:80.

  • Adjust TLS Settings

    • Under "Advanced Application Settings", go to "TLS Settings".
    • Disable "TLS Verify" to avoid issues with SSL/TLS certificates.

  • Final Steps

    • Review and Save: Make sure all details are correct and save the configuration.
    • Test Access: Try accessing your cloud storage server through the domain you set up to ensure everything is working correctly.
  1. (Optional) Docker Setup:
  • Install Docker:
sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose
