Using Edge Agent with Cloudflare

[Kaympe20]

Ask a Question!

I can connect to and setup the Edge Agent, however when I try to open it in Portainer, it fails with the error message "Unable to retrieve containers". The agent is on my local network and the Portainer server is using cloudflared Tunnels.

Hey @Kaympe20 You need port 8000 for the reverse tunnel as well as 9443 for the API.

So you will need two entries in your tunnel, for example.

api.portainer.domain.com - 9443
tunnel.portainer.domain.com - 8000

Is this how you have your config?

I have it setup up:

• portainer.domain.com:9443
• portainer-api.domain.com:8000

And using both of those when setting up your edge agent doesn't work? I have tested this and it's worked. We also have a blog post, slightly out dated but the idea is the same - https://www.portainer.io/blog/protecting-portainer-edge-devices-with-cloudflare
