How to self host behind Cloudflare Tunnel
Hi, I have no IPv4 from my ISP, so I host everything through Cloudflare Tunnel. I recently tried matrix-docker-ansible-deploy and got it to work, but I couldn’t get calling and federation to work over Tunnel. Is there any way to do this?
so you could communicate with it unfed'd?
I have the same problem. Has anyone found a solution?
You need to set the following in your
homeserver.yaml:serve_server_wellknown: trueread more here: https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#serve_server_wellknown
Also remember to restart your container.
Thanks for the reply. In the end I had to solve it by hosting the .well-known files on the main domain using Cloudflare Pages. I didn't want the subdomain in the server name.
I found lots of useful information here: https://appelman.se/matrix-on-cloudflare/
I'm not sure if that is the best/correct way to do it.
What you should have probably done is use the
server_nameproperty to point to your Apex/Main domain.https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#server_name
I highly recommend that you to go through the documentation throughly atleast once, especially if you will be hosting the server for a long period of time.
Edit:
If you followed the cloudfare guide you linked below, it should probably be fine. Still do go through the documentation.
