How to self host behind Cloudflare Tunnel

Hi, I have no IPv4 from my ISP, so I host everything through Cloudflare Tunnel. I recently tried matrix-docker-ansible-deploy and got it to work, but I couldn’t get calling and federation to work over Tunnel. Is there any way to do this?

I have the same problem. Has anyone found a solution?
- You need to set the following in your homeserver.yaml :
  
  serve_server_wellknown: true
  
  read more here: https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#serve_server_wellknown
  
  Also remember to restart your container.
  
  Thanks for the reply. In the end I had to solve it by hosting the .well-known files on the main domain using Cloudflare Pages. I didn't want the subdomain in the server name.
  
  I found lots of useful information here: https://appelman.se/matrix-on-cloudflare/
  
  I'm not sure if that is the best/correct way to do it.
  
  What you should have probably done is use the server_name property to point to your Apex/Main domain.

  I highly recommend that you to go through the documentation throughly atleast once, especially if you will be hosting the server for a long period of time.
  
  Edit:
  
  If you followed the cloudfare guide you linked below, it should probably be fine. Still do go through the documentation.
