This post will guide you through creating a Cloudflare Tunnel for a local Lando service container.

Prequisites

You will need...

• A Cloudflare account

• A domain connected to your Cloudflare account which will be used to route external traffic

• Lando with a configured project

Create Tunnel

1. Create a new directory .cloudflare in your project root

2. Authorize Argo Tunnel for Domain

   • Select your domain

   • A file cert.pem will be starting to download

3. Store cert.pem in .cloudflare/cert.pm

4. Run cloudflared tunnel --config=.cloudflare/config.yml --origincert=./.cloudflare/cert.pem create "RabbitHole"

5. The output should be

   Created tunnel RabbitHole with id <TUNNEL-ID>

6. Set the value of the tunnel attribute in .cloudflare/config.yml to the previously returned <TUNNEL-ID>

   For example tunnel: fbedd849-eadc-47f1-82aa-02458008fd2f

7. Create DNS CNAME record with any custom subdomain (like "local.domain.tld") pointing to <TUNNEL-ID>.cfargotunnel.com

8. Start Tunnel via the script below

Start Tunnel

In my case I want to expose the appserver_nginx Lando service to the tunnel.

cloudflared tunnel \
  --config=.cloudflare/config.yml \
  --origincert=./.cloudflare/cert.pem \
  run \
  --url=$(lando info --filter "service=appserver_nginx" --format json | jq '.[0].urls[1]' | sed 's/\"//g')

You can debug all requests using the --loglevel debug flag.

Fin

You should now reach your Lando service externally using your previously added CNAME DNS record ("local.domain.tld").
