I'm used to cloudflared CLI, and would prefer to keep the config files server-side.

My docker-compose.yml file is:

YAML version: '3.9' services: vaultwarden: image: vaultwarden/server:latest container_name: vaultwarden restart: always environment: - WEBSOCKET_ENABLED=true volumes: - ./vw-data:/data tunnel: container_name: cloudflared-tunnel image: cloudflare/cloudflared restart: always command: tunnel --config /etc/.cloudflared/config.yml run volumes: - ./cloudflared:/etc/.cloudflared

My config.yml is: ```YAML tunnel: [tunnelid] credentials-file: /etc/.cloudflared/[tunnelid].json ingress:

• hostname: [mydomain] service: http://localhost:80
• service: http_status:404 ```

I've noticed online people setting an env variable TUNNEL_TOKEN, but since I'm using self-hosted files, my token is a cert.pem.

Another issue however is that when I run this and try to browse to the page, I get the error ERR Request failed error="Unable to reach the origin service. The service may be down or it may not be responding to traffic from cloudflared: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:80: connect: connection refused.

Any assistance would be beloved ♥
