You might want to be more specific, cloud flare has a lot of different products, and you’re getting answers with differing assumptions.

For the self hosted focus, I use tail scale already, and when (not if) that company gets shitty, I will switch to head scale, or a competitor, or straight wire guard (plus firewall etc).

But I also run web sites on cf, and there’s no real alternative, definitely not for free. I don’t have hundreds of millions to spend on the CDN part, for starters.

I looked in to this a while back and didn’t find anything complete. I ended up using a collector and feeding the reports in to my existing Loki and making my own Grafana dashboard.

I used to. It’s really complicated and not big in the self hosted space.

I’d recommend the standard Prometheus, alert manager, and grafana stack instead. That’s what I use now, and although yaml sure is something, at least there’s tons of people to copy.

I’d rather see the original source, not a repost that doesn’t add any substance. Phoronix does some good original work but I don’t think stuff like this where they just add fluff is useful.
