Serving Local Content Through Cloudflare Tunnels (feddit.de)

Hey everyone, just a quick question.

I've been selfhosting a number different web applications throughout the years. For most of them I would use Cloudflare Tunnels to expose them to the internet. I usually had one tunnel set up for my root domain and either a wildcard or multiple specific CNAME records pointing to the same tunnel. The tunnel would then terminate in a Docker container which shares a network with a Traefik instance, which then routes the traffic through a seperate network to the different application containers.

I was just wondering what your opinions on this are, considering this approach over a seperate tunnel for every application. This would eliminate the need for a shared network for Traefik, although I don't consider this much of an issue.

Any opinion, input or recommendation is welcome! I'd love to hear about your setups, if you're running something similar.

Cloudflare Tunnels have a basic reverse proxy built in, so you could technically still have one and eliminate Traefik.

However, I still use one for nginx, and one for each important app (frigate, home assistant, probably others), plus an extra on a raspberry pi as more of a VPN if my wireguard server goes down.
