Setting Up Cloudflare and Custom Domain on Qovery

This tutorial guides you through configuring Cloudflare as a domain provider for applications deployed on Qovery. The process involves adding a custom domain and establishing proper DNS and SSL/TLS settings.

​

Prerequisites

• Active Qovery application
• Domain ownership on Cloudflare or registrar
• Access to Cloudflare DNS settings

​

Step 1: Add a Custom Domain

1. Access your application settings in Qovery Console
2. Navigate to the Domains section
3. Enter your Cloudflare-managed domain
4. Critical: Enable the “Domain behind a CDN” toggle

​

Step 2: Configure Cloudflare DNS

​

Add CNAME Entry

1. Go to Cloudflare DNS settings
2. Add a CNAME entry using values provided by the Qovery Console
3. The proxy mode can remain enabled

​

Step 3: Configure SSL/TLS Settings

The last step to configure the domain Cloudflare side properly is to use the Full TLS encryption for proper custom domain functionality.

1. Navigate to SSL/TLS settings in Cloudflare
2. Select Full encryption mode

​

Step 4: Access Restriction Options

You have two options for restricting access to your application:

​

Option 1: IP Whitelisting

Add Cloudflare IP ranges to Qovery’s advanced settings to allow only Cloudflare traffic.

​

Option 2: Cloudflared Tunnel

Cloudflared establishes outbound tunnels between resources and Cloudflare’s network, enabling tunnel-based access without public exposure.

​

Verification

Once configured, your application should be accessible via your custom domain through Cloudflare’s network.
