Install Discourse on a residential internet with Cloudflare Tunnel

[pfaffman (Jay Pfaffman)]

@Sailor

Is the recommendation to work locally on port 80 without SSL, since the tunnel will provide SSL handshake at the edge, and then tunnel to localhost can be without certificate?

Yes.

@Sailor

I can set up a local certificate with renewals via caddy

With a dns verification? It won’t be able to use let’s encrypt with the regular challenge.

If you can get caddy to work, you won’t need to change anything on the discourse side since caddy will still be talk to the http port.

@Sailor

it’s reflective of links/images being instructed to load via https and has nothing to do on which port/mode Discourse itself runs?

Right
