Just getting started with self hosting. I was wondering if anyone had experience with Cloudflare Tunnels for exposing their services to the internet. I like the simplicity and security it offers but don’t love the idea of using Cloudflare. Like, I’m self hosting for a reason lol. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
For context, I’m running all of my services in a very small k8s cluster and my priorities are mostly security then maintainability. Thanks yall!
Pangolin is also pretty straight forward. I set it up a few months ago to test out on a new server I was firing up and I’ve decided to just switch all my other servers running nginx-proxy-manager over to it.
Also, if you’re just accessing it yourself and have maybe a handful of people who’d be using it, I’d recommend just setting up Headscale.
TLDR: Pangolin or Nginx-Proxy-Manager or Tailscale + one of the previously mentioned reverse proxy solutions.
I wish I could like it. I followed the install directions to a tee, had it working, came across a random bug, hasn’t worked since. Posted an issue and devs said it must be related to using IPv6, but I’m using IPv4. That was a week ago. This is my second time installing by the way, the first time had other issues.
I’m just bummed because I spent all night changing all my services and DNS to Pangolin after it was working fine, then waking up to find all of them have failed. Had to revert to Cloudflare and I’m probably going to need to spin up another VPS if devs aren’t sure either.
Pangolin is great, I can expose things like game servers on it and have my entry point in a geographically close data center to keep the ping time lower than other options would let me.
I’m currently trying out the managed self hosted version, it seems a bit slower, but you also get ha with it which is pretty cool.
