About
What Cloudflared does
Cloudflared (Cloudflare Tunnel) creates a secure connection from your server to Cloudflare, letting you expose services without opening firewall ports. It provides zero-trust access controls, Cloudflare Access authentication, automatic TLS certificates, and multi-service support via a single tunnel.
Install Flow
How to self-host Cloudflared
Cloudflared can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what Cloudflared does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, deployment notes, and where to find the original compose template.
After deployment, Yantr lets you publish additional ports from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random port.
Use Cases
What people run it for
- Access your home server from anywhere without router port forwarding.
- Expose Jellyfin, Nextcloud, or other services securely with Cloudflare authentication.
- Get free automatic HTTPS for your self-hosted services.
- Set up zero-trust access - require login before reaching your services.

Notes
Things to know before you deploy
- Requires a Cloudflare account and tunnel token
- No ports need to be opened on your firewall
- Traffic routed through Cloudflare for DDoS protection
- To expose any Docker app, use the Docker host gateway IP (172.17.0.1) instead of 0.0.0.0 or localhost in the tunnel service URL, e.g. http://172.17.0.1:PORT
