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

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.
