Assumed audience: You need a domain managed in Cloudflare dashboard for any of this to work. I assume you do, and want to point to your Unraid NAS, with SWAG as the reverse proxy. So this is a niche topic. I used the old cloudflare/cloudflared Docker container configuration with a local YAML file via aeleos’s Unraid plugin. It was a very simple file, being just:
I’m accessing my Nextcloud, Linkding, Calibre e-book server, and other “cloud” services hosted on the NAS in the other room via their online domain and a Cloudflare tunnel. That means traffic essentially needs to be routed from my Mac, through Cloudflares servers online, and then back to the NAS. With that, what could be network file transfers actually take forever with my Telekom DSL.
I’m upgrading my 4TB drives in the NAS to 12TB drives. “Let’s be clever,” I thought (foreshadowing), “and do two things in parallel!” So installing the next drive into the disk array of my Unraid NAS, I let Unraid do these tasks: Does that speed things up, though? No, not at all, because Preclearing a disk takes 3x as long: Around 21 hours for each step that checks every nook and cranny of the HDD.
This tip is a bit out of context, but will make sense once I write more about the NAS I did set up. The NAS I have runs Unraid. It’s a Slackware-based Linux operating system that provides a bit of redundancy/recovery from drive failures without the RAID setup overhead and performance penalties. More details will follow later.
