HA with CloudFlare Tunnel not working after power interruption

Configuration Frontend
1

I have a really unique issue that I was hoping for guidance on.

Problem: I have a Beelink for my HA server and I have it set to boot back up automatically if power is lost.

However, after power is restored when my home loses power, my CloudFlare tunnel for external access doesn’t work. I get the below error page. Local connection works fine. The CloudFlare add-on in HA is set to boot on start.

Current solution: after everything is back online for a bit, if I completely power off my Beelink (HA server) and then boot it back up, the CloudTunnel works again.

Thoughts: my Beelink is on the same breaker as my entire networking box (modem, router, switches, etc.). Maybe the issue is because the Beelink boots up far quicker than the networking equipment? Even still, it could be hours/days after power is restored and it still won’t work. Only applying the “Current Solution” fixes it.

I know this is a very rare situation and typically I’m home to quick fix it. However, I was on vacation recently and we lost power at home, so I was not able to access HA for a few days until I returned home which was a bit problematic.

Setup: Beelink EQ13 running HAOS on bare metal. CloudFlare tunnel used to access HA remotely.

Any help is much appreciated. Happy to supply more info if I missed anything.

As a workaround I would suggest that the cloudflared integration be restarted if there is a connectivity issue, or if you are unable to create an automation that handles this in a graceful manner, and automation that just restarts the cloudflared integration at a specific time once or twice a day?

Hmm thats a good idea. Didn’t think of that (restarting once or twice a day). When you say integration, I assume you mean the CloudFlare add-on?

Essentially something like this?:

alias: "Nightly 3AM: Reload Add-Ons"
description: ""
triggers:
  - trigger: time
    at: "03:00:00"

conditions: []

actions:

  - action: hassio.addon_restart
    metadata: {}
    data:
      addon: 9074a9fa_cloudflared

mode: single
