I was really frustrated with the tedious process of manually configuring Cloudflare Tunnel ingress rules every time I wanted to expose a new Docker container. So, I built DockFlare! It's a self-hosted ingress controller designed to automate the entire process using Docker labels.
Just add a few simple labels to your containers (e.g., cloudflare.tunnel.enable=true, cloudflare.tunnel.hostname=your.domain.com), and DockFlare takes care of the rest – including deploying and managing the cloudflared agent. No more manual edits in the Cloudflare dashboard!
Key features:
- Label-based Dynamic Configuration: Automatically updates Cloudflare Tunnel rules based on container labels.
cloudflared Agent Auto-Deploy: Handles the deployment and lifecycle of the cloudflared container.- Graceful Deletion + State Persistence: Gracefully removes rules when containers stop, and persists state across restarts.
- Web UI: Provides a status dashboard and control panel for your Tunnel and managed rules.
