  • All you need to do for your tunnel is install the cloudflare service and connector using the command they give you when you create the tunnel and then set a public hostname for the tunnel that points to https://localhost and you should be good to go. For your firewall the only rules I have are for Nginx HTTP and HTTPS so yeah 80 and 443. You might have to point it to http://localhost I’m honestly not sure what the requirement is when you’re using lemmy but cloudflare will take care of the encryption and send it over HTTPS either way as far as I know, I have tunnels which use both and they all come via https.

    Edit: telnet uses TCP and you can use that in your public hostname section, idk how that relates to bbs though. I am very much a novice at this stuff, I’ve just spent a lot of time since the great culling of third party apps learning to host my own stuff. I’m using the tunnels through the zero trust section if there’s another.



  • My Lemmy instance is hosted on a 1 core 2gb linode with 50gb of storage so I can’t say really exactly what the hardware requirements are but they can’t be much if it’s been running fine on that for the last month-ish. Previously I had it on a 1 core 1gb over on oracle and it was pretty shitty there ngl so maybe pass on the 512mb machine. I use a cloudflare tunnel for my nextcloud though since T-Mobile uses a cgnat so I can’t forward ports anyway and it works pretty well there, there shouldn’t be any setup you need to do specifically for Lemmy with that just install the tunnel and connect it.

    I am the only user on my instance, besides my admin account and a bot which fetches new communities.
