danger

Do not use TryCloudflare in production, it is only for development and testing purposes!

Setup​

Firstly lets create a folder for our docker-compose.yml file.

mkdir -p ~/remnawave/try-cloudflare && cd ~/remnawave/try-cloudflare

Create a file docker-compose.yml and paste the following configuration.

nano docker-compose.yml
docker-compose.yml
  remnawave-try-cloudflare:
    container_name: remnawave-try-cloudflare
    hostname: remnawave-try-cloudflare
    image: cloudflare/cloudflared:latest
    networks:
      - remnawave-network
    restart: always
    command: tunnel --no-autoupdate --url http://remnawave:3000 remnawave-cf

    networks:
        remnawave-network:
        name: remnawave-network
        driver: bridge
        external: true

Start the container​

docker compose up -d && docker compose logs -f

Check out the logs, and find the following lines:
