Configuration​

  1. Add a new site on cloudflare console:

cloudflare_add_website

  1. Register your domain name with the Free Plan, then copy the DNS servers:

cloudflare_copy_dns

  1. Update the DNS server of your domain name, example with OVH:

update_dns_ovh

Replace here the servers dns12.ovh.net and ns12.ovh.net by the cloudflare's you copied before.

Wait a little bit (it might took 24h), the DNS servers should appears up to date like this:

updated_dns_server_ovh

  1. Go create an API token for your selfhosted cwcloud instance:

cloudflare_api_token_1

Then:

cloudflare_api_token_2

Then choose the right template:

cloudflare_api_token_3

Then choose the DNS zone:

cloudflare_api_token_4

Then you can copy/paste the generated token:

cloudflare_api_token_5

You'll have to set the CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN environment variable with this token.

  1. You can add the DNS zone in the cloud_environments.yml file:
dns_zones:
  - name: pulumi-university.com
    driver: CloudflareDriver
    zone_id: XXXXXXX

In order to get the zone_id, you can go on cloudflare and copy/past the following value:

cloudflare_zone_id
