There’s no need to install mod\_cloudflare - a cloudflare template is provided which will handle passing the correct IP address in.
Please note that none of Cloudflare’s optimisation features are supported with Discourse. You’re going to need a page rule to ‘disable performance’ otherwise Cloudflare will alter the payload and leave your site in an unsupported state.

Did you rebuild after editing your YML file?

Add the Cloudflare template to your templates section:
Under `templates:` add:
`- "templates/cloudflare.template.yml"`
