community-scripts.github.io\/<\/a>ProxmoxVE\/ and search for cloudflared. Now, find the option without DDNS and install it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce you have the container, you’ll have to go to dash.cloudflare.com > Zero Trust > Networks > Tunnels, and click “Create a new tunnel” and then select cloudflared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After that, give it some name, and then proceed to “Install and run connectors”. Now, we’ve already got cloudflared installed in our container, so skip the first box of instructions and find the code line that says “sudo cloudflared service install ...<\/code>” and copy it. It won’t match that line exactly, because the line will have a token after the “install”<\/p>\n\n\n\nNow, enter the Console of your cloudflared container, and paste it in there and run it. You might have to manually type it in if your copy and paste aren’t working for some reason (mine weren’t). It’s long and will be a pain if that’s the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you’ve run that, check cloudflare and see if the tunnel status is HEALTHY. If it is, proceed to edit the tunnel, and then you can edit “Published Application Routes” on cloudflare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As an example of what a route should look like, my config for this site looks like this: <\/p>\n\n\n\nMy domain is wtech.ninja, the service type is HTTP and url is 192.168.1.209, because that is the ip address of the wordpress container. (The cloudflared container has it’s own IP address which is different)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Change a wordpress setting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Once you have that done, you’ll want to connect to your wordpress site via ssh port forwarding one last time, and navigate to the General Settings, and change the “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)” to your proper hostname that you set up on cloudflare, instead of localhost:80<\/code> or whatever it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce you’ve changed that, try accessing the wordpress site via it’s hostname instead of using ssh forwarding, and if you’ve done everything correctly and the stars align, it might work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Random other thing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n I was getting some random connection errors and had to go into the Console of my wordpress container, find the file \/var\/www\/html\/wordpress\/wp-config.php<\/code> and add this line to it, just above the database settings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n$_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on';<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\nApparently since cloudflare talks to the server via http, but the clients talk to cloudflare via https, I had to set that in that file. It seems to have worked for me, anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hopefully this info can help someone else, and thanks for reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
So, my current-as-of-writing wordpress setup is a wordpress container on proxmox, through cloudflare tunneling since I don’t have a static IP to my server. If you’re interested in replicating it, follow these steps: For the sake of brevity I won’t walk you through installing and setting up proxmox. There are plenty of guides for that […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-115","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wtech.ninja\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wtech.ninja\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wtech.ninja\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wtech.ninja\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wtech.ninja\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=115"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/wtech.ninja\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":120,"href":"https:\/\/wtech.ninja\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115\/revisions\/120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wtech.ninja\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wtech.ninja\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wtech.ninja\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
