In the 8th episode of the CasaOS series, we'll look at how to make our Docker containers available on the internet via CloudFlare and Nginx Proxy Manager.

This video assumes a few things:
1. You've watched my previous CasaOS videos.
2. You have a domain name that you want to use and that you have pointed it to CloudFlare.
3. You have the ability to set up port forwarding on your modem/router and are able to forward ports 80 and 443 to your CasaOS setup.

Hi, I like to watch older videos every now and then to refresh my memory, so as always a big THANKS! And Keep up the AMAZING work!!

[fraugdib]

Really good if you want to use CasaOS on a VPS and access the apps (which are actually docker containers) online at your domain name. There are a lot of steps, and so many tutorials/docs only describe incomplete portions of this process individually. This video does a great job of explaining the actual steps from start to finish... Great job, thanks!

[farzadmf]

Just rewatched your video and tired to follow steps to set up something similar on an AWS EC2, and I just wanted to say THANK YOU! So well explained and really love the fact that you don't skip steps. I thought you are because things weren't working for me, but when I rewatched, I saw that you're explaining EVERYTHING so clearly and it was me who missed that step

Keep up the AMAZING work

[CaptZenPetabyte]

Thanks for this tutorial mate, it was just what I was currently looking to do. Cheers.

[tulipwell]

Hey there! I've been totally binge-watching your playlists for the last 2 days – great stuff, kudos to you! 😄 Just got a quick question: since you've mentioned pointing your domain to your home IP in Cloudflare DNS settings, would we need a static IP or any DDNS service to make that URL connection? Thanks!

[thomas]

Thanks man!! This turtorial could have saved me hours of agony if I would have found it earlier. Everyhing works exactly as I want now :)

[zakoalax]

Very interesting as usual! It's funny to see your face when it makes mistakes :) Thank you very much for all this practical content! Cheers mate 👌

[my-king]

Would you ever do an updated version with all the new stuff cloudflare offer and updated CasaOS. I feel like their new tunnelling system might offer new features and would maybe make things easier? I got this working but had to turn off the tunnelling features I previously set up. I ask because one of the most common things I see on the CasaOS reddit and Discord is how to get HTTPS working. I was pointed here from it. I just think a nice updated video on it (Maybe using different apps? I see a few like Caddy) would make things so much easier. Thank you for your great video(s)!

[autobahnmensch]

this guide is 110%! thank you! liked and subscribed

[farzadmf]

One of the best tutorials I've seen for NPM, thank you 👍

[ashishcchauhan]

as I do not have static IP and I think many people have not, so please make a video on how to install cloudlare tunnel on casaOS and access all casaOS apps from out side home network. thanks in advance. please please, please...

[try-that]

Nice video, thought the new studio sounded and looked pretty good.

[kishanjithBU]

I bought a new domain for this, but when i click the link its showing error 1002 dns points to local or disallowed ip

[ykkim]

What a great clip! it seems casaOS upgraded recently, How to configure my router (port forward) to access local IP casaOS?

[mareksipos]

Thanks!!! using your tutorial it was actually easy.

[fredzibulski]

always love your content.
Was trying to get it working with bookstack with my domain not through case OS but with OMV and nginx. Wrenn I add the APP_URL in ENV in the container it does not work was waiting for some time like you said due to DNS but it did not work. Is there something different i have to do with my setup ?

[CristianHeredia]

This is great. Can you show a similar setup with docker compose/portainer. I know people use traefik but that seems overkill. What you just showed makes sense for homelab services.
