DockFlare is a lightweight, self-hosted Cloudflare Tunnel automation tool for Docker users that simplifies the process of exposing internal Docker services to the internet securely.
DockFlare aims to provide simplicity, security through Zero Trust Access, and automation for creating tunnels, subdomains, and security policies based on Docker service metadata.
Benefits of using DockFlare include quick setup, zero trust security, no requirement for a public IP, built-in TLS encryption and access rules, user-friendly web interface, and compatibility with CI/CD pipelines.
To install DockFlare, users need Docker, Docker Compose, a Cloudflare account, a domain connected to Cloudflare, and a Cloudflare API Token with specific permissions. The installation process involves creating directories, configuration files, deploying DockFlare, and exposing Docker services using Docker labels.
