I don’t know what to do, I’m experimenting with creating a Lemmy instance. it’s listening on port 8536 but cloudflare won’t respond and connect and while i connected the tunnel to the instance, i can’t figure out the error or how to make it connect to the server.
“Failed to connect to localhost port 8536 after 0 ms: Couldn’t connect to server”
Are you pointing cloudflare directly to Lemmy? I have mine going from cloudflare to Nginx Proxy Manager configured to serve Lemmy.
There is some additional configuration necessary for a reverse proxy in front of Lemmy, which is potentially where things are getting messed up for you?
Cloudflare won’t connect to a port number that high. Drop it down to say 2536 and you will be fine
Failure to connect, still. Odd.
I’m gonna try just making it a local instance
Wait, failure to connect to local host? That’s your own computer, whatever endpoint isn’t going through cloud flare. Most apps respond to ports 80/443. You need to either route those to your computer, or in docker route whatever port you want it on to your app. If you have just one app/website, you can do 80/443 universally to the app. If you have more than one, route them to a reverse proxy that can take a domain or sub-domain name and route them to the ports your apps are on.
But yeah, you really need to provide more info.
What’s your environment? What’s your config, setup, etc?
I used Cloudflare tunnels and YunoHost. It won’t connect and it won’t listen to any port
Yeah, YunoHost explains why
http://localhost:8536/wouldn’t be working. If cloudflared and Lemmy are in separate containers you have to put an actual IP in, since localhost points to the container itself.You’re running these commands on the same machine as yunohost, right, not from another computer?
Correct, same computer
Hey bro. I’m just a FNG here, but I’ve found that the more detail you can give, the better the results (answers) will be. However, two sentences about a Cloudfare error is probably not going to garner much interest. People here I’ve found, are willing to help, but they can’t guess what it is you’re talking about.
Kind Regards
Can you access it without Cloudflare?
Does
curl http://localhost:8536/work?You are using cloudflared right? Because normal (non-cloudflared) Cloudflare doesn’t support port 8536.
Cloudflared, yes. “curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 8536 after 0 ms: Couldn’t connect to server”
What’s the URL you using to access it without Cloudflare?
Edit: Also that curl tells me it’s not listening on that IP/port.
To add: (I’m just going down the checklist here https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/)
- Can you show us that cloudflared is actually running. I wanna see it
- Does your firewall allow the connection

Have you gotten to the authentication step?

What do the logs say?

Odd, thanks! akaris.space
How are you accessing it without Cloudflare? How do you know that Lemmy is actually listening?
