The Cloudflare tunnels on tuckfow-home and tuckfow-cloud-01 route every hostname to http://dokploy-traefik over dokploy-network (cloud-01's Dokploy panel goes to dokploy:3000). cloudflare-exposed never carried tunnel traffic and was misleading: qBittorrent is public without it, and on cloud-01 only the tunnel was in it.

  • Remove the network from cloudflared, archisteamfarm, homepage, pihole and speedtest (they keep dokploy-network, which Dokploy attaches on deploy, plus their project default network)
  • Docs: cloudflared README (how to expose a service), CLAUDE.md network model, main README note; drop the "Networks" sections

Deploy impact: Dokploy recreates those 5 containers (short Pi-hole/tunnel blip). The empty cloudflare-exposed network is removed by hand afterwards on both hosts.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The tunnel sends every hostname to Traefik over dokploy-network, so
cloudflare-exposed never carried traffic and did not reflect what is
exposed (qBittorrent was public without it). Drop it from cloudflared,
ASF, Homepage, Pi-hole and Speedtest, and document that exposure is
decided by tunnel hostnames, Dokploy domains and Cloudflare Access.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated deployment guidance to explain that public traffic is routed through Dokploy and Traefik, with Cloudflare handling TLS and access policies.
    • Removed instructions requiring services to join a shared Cloudflare-exposed network or requiring Cloudflared to create it first.
    • Clarified that services can be deployed in any order.
  • Configuration
    • Removed the shared Cloudflare-exposed network from service and tunnel configurations.

The pull request updates the documented exposure model to use Cloudflare Tunnel, dokploy-network, and Traefik. It removes cloudflare-exposed attachments and declarations from service Compose files and removes related network prerequisites from documentation.

Changes: Dokploy routing model

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tunnel routing model
CLAUDE.md, cloudflared/README.md, cloudflared/docker-compose.yml
Documentation describes forwarding public hostnames through dokploy-network to Traefik and configuring Dokploy domains and Cloudflare Access. The tunnel Compose file removes the cloudflare-exposed network.
Service network references
README.md, archisteamfarm/*, homepage/*, pihole/*, speedtest/*
The service Compose files remove cloudflare-exposed attachments and declarations. The service READMEs remove the network prerequisite, and the Getting Started guidance says services can be deployed in any order.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to b476b

Address the exposure instructions before merging: private services can become accessible without Cloudflare Access protection. Preserve widget connectivity and document standalone proxy migration and service networking.

Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

The instructions send every hostname to Traefik, although the PR description reports that cloud-01's Dokploy panel is routed directly to dokploy:3000. The universal instruction may not work for that panel.

The Dokploy panel becomes unreachable through its tunnel hostname.

This can occur when: An operator changes the panel hostname's origin to http://dokploy-traefik following these instructions.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @archisteamfarm/README.md:
- Line 37: Update the network documentation in the README section identified by
“Updates” and in the Homepage, Pi-hole, and Speedtest READMEs to describe the
Dokploy network and routing model, including the relevant environment variables
and any service-specific setup needed to use it.

Review comments at @cloudflared/docker-compose.yml:
- Around line 13-14: Declare dokploy-network at the top level of the Compose
configuration so the tunnel service’s network reference resolves in standalone
setup. Configure it to use the intended existing Docker network, and document
the prerequisite for creating or providing that network before starting the
tunnel.

Review comments at @cloudflared/README.md:
- Around line 35-39: Update the Dokploy and Cloudflare Access guidance to
require restricting direct public access to the Traefik origin or validating
Cloudflare Access tokens at the origin. Make clear that configuring the tunnel
and Access application alone does not prevent clients from bypassing Access
through Traefik’s publicly reachable HTTP port.
- Around line 35-39: Reorder the setup instructions so private services have a
configured Cloudflare Access application before the hostname is added to the
tunnel and published. Keep the existing exception for services that must be
public.

Review comments at @homepage/docker-compose.yml:
- Line 14: Update the standalone Compose network configuration so Homepage can
reach the Pi-hole container using the documented widget URL, or document a
reachable alternative and its required setup. Preserve the existing deployment
behavior for other services.
- Line 14: Document a standalone reverse-proxy migration path for the Homepage
Compose service: explain how to connect the proxy to Homepage’s new default
network and verify it can reach homepage:3000 before switching traffic. Make
clear that the proxy must not rely solely on cloudflare-exposed during
redeployment.

Review comments at @pihole/docker-compose.yml:
- Line 22: Update the Pi-hole service containing the ports configuration and the
Homepage service to join the same explicitly configured shared Docker network,
so the `http://pihole` widget can reach Pi-hole without relying on Dokploy’s
automatic network attachment.

Preserve standalone access to the Pi-hole widget.

With the documented standalone Compose deployment, Homepage and Pi-hole join separate networks. The documented http://pihole widget URL cannot resolve the Pi-hole container, so the widget cannot show statistics. Provide a shared network for standalone deployments or document another reachable URL and its setup.

Provide a standalone proxy migration path.

If a standalone reverse proxy reaches homepage:3000 only through cloudflare-exposed, redeploying Homepage disconnects it from that network. The dashboard becomes inaccessible. Document how to attach the proxy to Homepage’s new default network before switching traffic.

Pi-hole widget: documented that Pi-hole and Speedtest must keep a Dokploy domain, which is what attaches them to dokploy-network where Homepage resolves http://pihole / http://speedtest. Standalone proxy migration: not applicable; there is no standalone proxy, Traefik is Dokploy's and lives on dokploy-network.

@finallyjay Thanks for the clarification. I withdraw the standalone proxy migration concern for your deployment.

The service READMEs now document the Dokploy domain requirements. However, README.md Line 34 still describes Dokploy as optional, and Line 41 gives standalone Compose instructions. In that setup, Homepage and Pi-hole use separate default networks, so http://pihole cannot resolve without additional networking.

Could you document a shared network or reachable URL for standalone users, or clarify that the widget example requires the Dokploy setup?

You are interacting with an AI system.

Comment thread pihole/docker-compose.yml Resolved
Address the review on #76: each affected README gets a Networks
section, Pi-hole and Speedtest note that they must keep a Dokploy
domain so Homepage can reach them, and the cloudflared README now
creates the Access app before publishing the hostname and requires
Traefik's 80/443 to be closed to the internet.
