Written for k3s, but works on any cluster: bind mounts use hostPath, named volumes get a
persistent volume claim, and ports are exposed via a LoadBalancer service.

Cloudflared-web
Cloudflared-web is a docker image that packages both cloudflared cli and a simple Web UI to easily start or stop remotely-managed Cloudflare tunnel.Repository: https://github.com/WisdomSky/Cloudflared-web
✅ Easy run-and-forget setup.
✅ Manage cloudflared token from a simple and user-friendly Web UI.
✅ Start and stop cloudflare tunnel anytime with a single click.

Application Setup
When manually setting up this image, it is crucial to always set thenetworking mode into host as without it, the cloudflared service won't be able to access the services running on the host:docker run --network host wisdomsky/cloudflared-web:latestor if using docker-compose.yml:services:
cloudflared:
image: wisdomsky/cloudflared-web:latest
restart: unless-stopped
network_mode: hostThe Web UI where you can setup the Cloudflared token can be accessed from port
14333:http://localhost:14333Github Containers
If for some reason you are unable to pull images from Docker's Official Image Registry (docker.io),Cloudflared-web is also synced to Github Container Registry (ghcr.io).Just prefix the image with
ghcr.io/ in order to use the mirrored image in Github.

Environment
| Variable Name | Default value | Required or Optional | Description | |-------------------|---------------|---|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | WEBUIHOST | 0.0.0.0 | Optional | This will work if you want the WebUI to listen on a different host address | | WEBUIPORT | 14333 | Optional | The port on the host where the WebUI will be running. Useful when an existing process is running on port14333 and want to assign cloudflared-web into a different available port. |
| BASICAUTHPASS | | Optional | Enable Basic Auth by specifying a password. If BASIC_AUTH_USER is not specified, the default value for username admin will be used. |
| BASICAUTHUSER | admin | Optional | Specify the username for the Basic Auth. |
| EDGEBINDADDRESS | | Optional | Specifies the outgoing IP address used to establish a connection between cloudflared and the Cloudflare global network.The IP version of
EDGE_BIND_ADDRESS will override EDGE_IP_VERSION (if provided). For example, if you enter an IPv6 source address, cloudflared will always connect to an IPv6 destination. |
| EDGEIPVERSION | auto | Optional | Specifies the IP address version (IPv4 or IPv6) used to establish a connection between cloudflared and the Cloudflare global network. Available values are auto, 4, and 6. |
| PROTOCOL | auto | Optional | Specifies the protocol used to establish a connection between cloudflared and the Cloudflare global network. Available values are auto, http2, and quic. |
| GRACEPERIOD | 30s | Optional | When cloudflared receives SIGINT/SIGTERM it will stop accepting new requests, wait for in-progress requests to terminate, then shut down. Waiting for in-progress requests will timeout after this grace period, or when a second SIGTERM/SIGINT is received. |
| REGION | | Optional | Allows you to choose the regions to which connections are established. Currently the only available value is us, which routes all connections through data centers in the United States. Omit or leave empty to connect to the global region. |
| RETRIES | 5 | Optional | Specifies the maximum number of retries for connection/protocol errors. Retries use exponential backoff (retrying at 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 seconds by default), so it is NOT RECOMMENDED that you increase this value significantly. |
| METRICSENABLE | false | Optional | Enable tunnel metrics server. |
| METRICSPORT | 60123 | Optional | Specify port to run tunnel metrics on. METRICS_ENABLE must be set to true. |Based on Cloudflare tunel run parameters documentation.

| Container Path | Required or Optional | Description | |---|---|---| | /config | Optional | The path to the directory where theconfig.json file containing the Cloudflare token and start status will be saved. |example

You can use dockernetworks for a more fine-grained control of which containers/services your cloudflared-web container has access to.services:

restart: unless-stopped
networks:
- mynetwork

Adding A Language Translation
See Localization.Check the logs first
Nine times out of ten the logs tell you exactly what went wrong.
- In Portainer, go to Containers, click the container, then Logs. Or run
docker logs cloudflared-web - Exit codes help too:
137means killed, usually out of memory.126or127means the command inside the image is broken.
Runs on the host network
This container shares your server's network directly, so port mappings are ignored and every port the app opens binds straight to the host.
- If a port won't bind, find the clash with
sudo ss -tlnpand stop the other service, or change the port in cloudflared-web's own settings.
Image won't pull
Test the pull directly on the host: docker pull wisdomsky/cloudflared-web:latest
- "manifest unknown" means the tag no longer exists. This template uses
latest, so try pinning a specific version instead. - "toomanyrequests" is the Docker Hub rate limit. Log in with
docker loginto raise it. - "no space left on device" means a full disk. Reclaim space with
docker system prune
"exec format error"
This means the image was built for a different CPU architecture than your server.
- This image supports:
amd64, arm64, arm/v7, arm64/v8 - Check yours with
uname -m: x86_64 is amd64, aarch64 is arm64. Raspberry Pi and other ARM boards are the usual culprits.
Container keeps restarting
The unless-stopped restart policy relaunches the app after every crash, so the real error can scroll past.
- Check the logs right after a restart, the last few lines before it died are the useful ones.
- Get the exit code with
docker inspect cloudflared-web --format '{{.State.ExitCode}}' - Still stuck? Redeploy once with the restart policy set to
noso the failure stays visible.
