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?
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
VPS is not an option at the moment, as the amount of storage I need makes it prohibitively expensive. I have a 2TB WD Black drive with all the user files. My clients share very large files with me. Some of the art files alone can go into the 10s of GB for a set.
My mate has 1000mbps business fibre to his house. He is happy to do a RP for me, as this is the only way I can make this work.
We doing the server move this weekend. Holding thumbs it all goes well.
