Cloudflared installation

[rafa]

Since yesterday, cloudflared can be installed as a package on TrueNas (see github issue).

My goal is to make my services accessible through the internet. I have the following restrictions:

• I only have a dynamic IP address
• There is at least one NAT Server which I don't have control over.

Dynamic DNS does not work due to the NAT Server. The only possible solution I found is to create an outgoing ssh tunnel. This is where cloudflared comes into play.

I am not sure where to install cloudflared. I understand that the majority of applications should be installted in a jail. However, installing cloudflared in a jail would only allow me to access this jail instance. Directly on the TrueNas system does not work either because the `pkg` is disabled in root.

I was wondering what is the most appropriate and secure way to install cloudflared?

Hello,
I managed to install Cloudflare into a dedicated jail configured with DHCP so it can see all my other services and network devices. I just can't figure out how to attach it to my services in an efficient way. But, my previous post may be of some help, at least with learning how to install it.

Connect Cloudflared (Cloudflare's Argo Tunnel) to TrueNAS Services (and Jails)
