Remote (free and secure) access to your HA instance at home

1

Hi all…

last week we created this video playlist to show how to set up remote access to stuff on your home-Labs, for free, using cloudflare tunnels. The examples include HA and node-red, but would work with anything else.

I hope you enjoy :wink:

Great tutorial! Thanks for posting it. :+1:

always looking for better/different ways to access services on my network.

How would this change to route to a different local machine on the network other than the one the cloudflare container is running on?

That’s easy: you just need to adjust the ingress rules applied on the config.yml file

Say you want to access a pihole web-ui on 192.168.1.100:8080 the ingress would be:


  - hostname: name-of-the-pi.YOUR_DOMAIN
    service: http://192.168.1.100:8080

The main thing is: there must be connectivity between the hosts, i.e. if cloudflared is running on docker, you need to join this docker to a network that can reach the target system. Otherwise, it won’t be able to route traffic.
