# Cloudflare Tunnel — Dev Container SSH Access
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Cloudflare Tunnel provides SSH access to dev containers for developers using
|
||||
local VS Code or terminal. No VPN client required. Uses the same hostname as
|
||||
the browser IDE.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Developer laptop
|
||||
↓ ssh dev-6070.zerolaghub.dev
|
||||
Cloudflare edge
|
||||
↓ CF Tunnel (persistent, runs on bastion)
|
||||
Bastion VM (private IP, no public exposure)
|
||||
↓ SSH proxy jump
|
||||
Dev container (10.100.x.x)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
HTTPS and SSH share the same hostname. Cloudflare routes them separately:
|
||||
- HTTPS → Traefik → API → container (browser IDE)
|
||||
- SSH → CF Tunnel → bastion → container
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Current State
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ CF Tunnel created and connected to bastion VM
|
||||
- ✅ Cloudflare Zero Trust free plan active (covers up to 50 users)
|
||||
- ⏳ Tunnel configuration not fully complete
|
||||
- ⏳ SSH hostname mapping not yet configured
|
||||
- ⏳ Bastion SSH proxy jump not yet configured
|
||||
- ⏳ Dev containers SSH not yet verified reachable from bastion
|
||||
- ⏳ Portal SSH config snippet not yet built
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Remaining Steps
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Configure tunnel ingress in Cloudflare Zero Trust dashboard
|
||||
|
||||
In Zero Trust → Networks → Tunnels → your tunnel → Configure:
|
||||
|
||||
Add a public hostname:
|
||||
- Subdomain: `*` (wildcard) or specific `dev-ssh`
|
||||
- Domain: `zerolaghub.dev`
|
||||
- Service type: `SSH`
|
||||
- URL: `localhost:22`
|
||||
|
||||
This routes SSH traffic arriving at Cloudflare for `*.zerolaghub.dev` through
|
||||
the tunnel to port 22 on the bastion.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Configure bastion SSH for proxy jump
|
||||
|
||||
On the bastion, edit `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` to allow the bastion to act as
|
||||
a jump host into dev containers:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Allow TCP forwarding for proxy jump
|
||||
AllowTcpForwarding yes
|
||||
PermitOpen any
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or scope it to the container subnet only:
|
||||
```
|
||||
PermitOpen 10.100.0.0/24:22
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Restart SSH: `systemctl restart sshd`
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Ensure dev containers have SSH running
|
||||
|
||||
Each dev container needs an SSH server running and accessible from the bastion:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# In dev container
|
||||
apt-get install -y openssh-server
|
||||
systemctl enable ssh
|
||||
systemctl start ssh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The agent should handle this as part of dev container provisioning — add to
|
||||
agent's dev provisioning pipeline.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Developer one-time setup
|
||||
|
||||
Developer adds this to `~/.ssh/config` (portal will surface this as a
|
||||
copyable snippet):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Host *.zerolaghub.dev
|
||||
ProxyCommand cloudflared access ssh --hostname %h
|
||||
User dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After that:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ssh dev-6070.zerolaghub.dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. VS Code Remote SSH
|
||||
|
||||
Developer opens VS Code → Remote Explorer → Add new host:
|
||||
```
|
||||
ssh dev-6070.zerolaghub.dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
VS Code handles the rest — connects through the tunnel, mounts the workspace.

||||
## Security Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Bastion has no public IP — all SSH access goes through CF Tunnel only
|
||||
- CF Tunnel is outbound-only from bastion to Cloudflare — no inbound ports open
|
||||
- Zero Trust free tier: up to 50 users, core access control included
|
||||
- Developer must have `cloudflared` installed locally for the ProxyCommand
|
||||
- code-server runs `--auth none` — SSH access is separate and enforced at
|
||||
the OS level by the SSH server in the container
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Portal Integration (Future)
|
||||
|
||||
Portal dev container page should show:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
SSH Access
|
||||
──────────
|
||||
Copy this to your ~/.ssh/config:
|
||||
|
||||
Host *.zerolaghub.dev
|
||||
ProxyCommand cloudflared access ssh --hostname %h
|
||||
User dev
|
||||
|
||||
Then connect with:
|
||||
ssh dev-6070.zerolaghub.dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
One-time setup. Works for all dev containers after that.

## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
| Issue | Likely Cause |
|
||||
|-------|--------------|
|
||||
| `cloudflared: command not found` | Developer needs to install cloudflared client |
|
||||
| `Connection refused` | SSH not running in container or bastion jump not configured |
|
||||
| `Permission denied` | SSH key not added to container's `dev` user |
|
||||
| Tunnel not connecting | `cloudflared` service not running on bastion — check `systemctl status cloudflared` |
