Hey there, I’ve been working with some other people to finish an ad-hoc migration of our old vbulletin3 to discourse. Now it’s time to start thinking about some other aspect for the migration, one of which is the fact that we have a cloudflare account that serves our forum.

We would like to keep it if possible as our forum has tons of lurkers (and around 1000 active users).

The only thread I’ve found here that is somewhat having some info e’ from 2015 so I’m asking if there is any “official” doc that I might have missed that specify how to set up cloudflare with discourse properly.

Secondarily I’d like to know if there is a process to follow to:

- have discourse update stats post migration
- have discourse search index “refresh” post migration

Thank you in advance 🙂
