Are any of you selfhosters using Cloudflare?
I want to make a server visible on port 80 and 443 from outside, however port 80 and 443 is currently used for another server.
I know we can reverse proxy but I have a reason why I am not using reverse proxy for this.
I have been told that I can connect to cloudflare like a VPN type of link. But going through their website I don’t find much useful information?
Is this possible or is it just rumors? If possible, what is the product offering to utilize?
This move is not about “self hosting”. They are two services that my clients connect to. Where I am now, with the dodgy power, my clients are complaining that they cannot access the servers. I can not afford to store this much data in a datacenter, so this is the next best way.
Mja, business decisions are up to you and your clients. This sub is about selfhosting, so you can expect answers that are about, well, selfhosting ;-)
Granted, and all the answers I got in this post have been very valuable to me and I have learned a few things… whether you are hosting for personal or for business. Selfhosting is when you host it yourself rather than get SaaS or paying a sysadmin to do it for you. Either which or, you still learn a lot along the way.
Definetely! In your case I would get a vps from somewhere and host from there. Cloudflare is not going to work around your power issues. Some caching CDN might, but that would make the service read-only
