In this guide, I will walk you through the process of using Helm to install Homarr as a navigation page in your cluster, and then how to expose it to the public internet through Cloudflare.
Using this method, Cloudflare automatically adds and manages the certificates, eliminating concerns about certificate renewals. This approach is more convenient compared to using Let’s Encrypt.
Cloudflare also offers multiple authentication methods, enhancing security beyond what traditional firewall and local network configurations can provide. This multi-faceted approach to authentication makes it more robust and secure.

1. Installing Homarr via Helm
a. Add the Deler Helm Repository
First, add the Deler Helm repository, provided by Deler Aziz. Detailed information can be found in the Homarr README.
helm repo add deler https://helm.deler.devb. Update Information on Available Charts
Refresh your local list of available charts from the repositories:
helm repo updatec. Install the Chart
Install Homarr, setting the service type to LoadBalancer to obtain a local IP address:
helm install my-release deler/homarr --set service.type=LoadBalancer2. Retrieving the Homarr LoadBalancer IP Address
Use the kubectl command to fetch the external IP address assigned to Homarr:
kubectl get svc my-release-homarr3. Configuring the IP Address through Cloudflare Tunnel
a. Sign Up for Cloudflare and Add Your Domain
If you’re new to Cloudflare, sign up at Cloudflare and add your domain.
b. Install Cloudflare Tunnel on Your Server
Download and install the cloudflared daemon from the Cloudflare Tunnel documentation.
c. Authenticate cloudflared
Authenticate cloudflared with your Cloudflare account:
cloudflared tunnel logind. Create a Tunnel
Create a new tunnel with a command like:
cloudflared tunnel create my-tunnele. Configure the Tunnel
Set up the tunnel configuration in ~/.cloudflared/config.yml, specifying your tunnel ID and the local service address:
tunnel: <TUNNEL-ID> credentials-file: /root/.cloudflared/<TUNNEL-ID>.json ingress: - hostname: homarr.example.com service: http://localhost:PORT - service: http_status:404f. Start the Tunnel
Begin routing traffic to your Homarr service:
cloudflared tunnel run my-tunnelg. Update DNS Records in Cloudflare
In Cloudflare, add a CNAME record pointing your desired subdomain to your tunnel.
h. Verify the Setup
Access Homarr through your configured domain, such as homarr.example.com.
This guide provides a comprehensive overview of installing Homarr in a cluster using Helm and securely exposing it through Cloudflare Tunnel.
