How to self host behind Cloudflare Tunnel (feddit.de)

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?

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'm not sure if that is the best/correct way to do it.

What you should have probably done is use the server_name property to point to your Apex/Main domain.

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.
