Cloudflare Tunnel
Publish one app to the internet at a real hostname through a dedicated, outbound-only Cloudflare Tunnel. No firewall port is opened, ports 80/443 stay free, and your existing reverse proxy is untouched — traffic reaches your container by leaving the server, so your origin IP never appears in public DNS.

How Cloudflare Tunnel Works
No documentation needed. Cloudflare Tunnel guides you through each step visually.
Open Domain Settings

SSH into your server
Connect to configure domains.
ssh root@your-server-ipInstall Certbot
Set up Let's Encrypt tooling.
apt update
apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
# Or for standalone:
apt install certbotConfigure nginx
Set up reverse proxy manually.
nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/myapp
# server {
# listen 80;
# server_name myapp.com www.myapp.com;
# location / {
# proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
# proxy_http_version 1.1;
# proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
# proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
# proxy_set_header Host $host;
# proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
# }
# }
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/myapp /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
nginx -t
systemctl reload nginxOne syntax error = site down.
Generate SSL certificate
Run Certbot and cross your fingers.
certbot --nginx -d myapp.com -d www.myapp.com
# Answer the interactive prompts
# Wait for DNS verification
# Hope it doesn't failSet up auto-renewal
Don't forget or your cert expires.
# Test renewal
