Today I set up a small stack on my own server using Docker, Cloudflare Tunnel, and Traefik. The goal was simple: I wanted a cleaner way to expose and manage multiple projects without treating every new deployment like a one-off configuration job. The useful part was not just that it worked. It made the server feel like a reusable system. Why I wanted this I like keeping small projects available online, but once there is more than one service involved, setup work starts repeating itself very quickly. You need routing, domain handling, HTTPS, container management, and some way to stop the server from becoming a pile of unrelated manual decisions. I wanted something that felt structured enough to grow, but still lightweight enough for personal projects. The stack Docker runs the services Traefik handles reverse proxying and routing Cloudflare Tunnel connects the server to the outside world without the usual direct exposure model Docker gives each project a predictable runtime shape.…
