"The best way to predict the future is to create it."
I’m a tech enthusiast from Switzerland with 20+ years building and breaking things (mostly on purpose!). My passion for automation, self-hosting, and security drives my projects and open-source work. I’m always learning, always curious and always ready to solve hard problems.
DockFlare is a powerful, self-hosted ingress controller that automates Cloudflare Tunnel & Zero Trust management using Docker labels. DockFlare eliminates tedious manual configuration and centralizes access control for both Dockerized and non-Dockerized services.

- Label-Driven Automation: Configure ingress rules and Zero Trust security from your Docker compose files.
- Centralized Web UI: Intuitive dashboard to visualize tunnels, override access policies, monitor live logs, and manage manual rules.
- Zero Trust Integration: Apply per-service authentication and policy with simple labels or group templates.
- Dynamic Event Handling: DockFlare instantly reacts to Docker events and syncs with your Cloudflare account.
- State Reconciliation: Persistent state, graceful cleanup, and robust migration flows—designed for reliability.
- Massive Community Adoption:
- ⭐ 1,600+ GitHub stars
- 55,000+ Docker pulls
- Used daily for modern homelab and multi-site deployments
