Public frontend
The main website is hosted on Cloudflare, giving it a fast public front door without needing a local web server.
Cloudflare hosted frontend
Building a clean web front end with local-powered features.
This site is served from Cloudflare, while selected functionality can be powered by services running locally behind a Cloudflare Tunnel.
About the setup
A public website without exposing the whole local network.
Local features
Individual features can call a controlled API route that is forwarded to a local service through Cloudflare Tunnel.
Safer exposure
The local side can stay behind outbound tunnel connectivity instead of relying on inbound router port forwarding.
Architecture
The current design
The public website and the local API are deliberately separated. This means the public site can stay simple and reliable, while local services can be added carefully as separate features.
