Turn localhost into public in a snap!

If you’ve ever finished coding a project and wondered how to put it on the internet, you’re not alone.

The usual “journey” is a maze of port forwarding/NAT, DDNS because you don’t have a static IP, wrestling with SSL/TLS for HTTPS…

And if you’re renting like me, getting access to the landlord’s router to “open ports” is basically impossible.

Enter Traefik Tunnel Expose!

A slick combo of Traefik and Cloudflare Tunnel that automates all of this for you.

The tech in a nutshell

Cloudflare Tunnel:
Instead of opening your home network to the internet, it creates an encrypted, private tunnel from your machine to Cloudflare’s global network. All traffic flows through that tunnel. Translation: no port forwarding, no static IP, and your LAN stays invisible.

Traefik Proxy:
Once traffic reaches your machine safely, Traefik acts as the smart traffic controller. It auto-discovers your services and routes traffic to the right subdomain. You also get load balancing, powerful middlewares (like OIDC auth), and a rich plugin ecosystem.

What makes this project special

Automatic DNS management:
A built-in watcher auto-creates subdomain records on Cloudflare DNS. No more manual clicking in the Cloudflare dashboard.

Always up-to-date:
It automatically checks and updates Traefik and Cloudflare Tunnel to the latest version every 6 hours—security patches and new features, on autopilot.

What you get

Deploy in minutes: Save hours of network/server config.

Maximum security: Your internal network stays “invisible” to the internet.

Centralized control: Add/edit/remove services with just a few lines of config.

100% automation: From subdomain creation to HTTPS—fully automated.

I’ve been running this for my personal homelab for over 2 months and it’s been rock solid. It’s a great fit for personal servers, family setups, and staging/demo environments. (Small note: free Cloudflare Tunnel might not be ideal for ultra-high-traffic systems.)

If you find this useful, a

on GitHub would mean a lot. I really appreciate any interest and contributions from the community!

Thanks for reading!
