# Cloudflare DNS + Home Network Setup for `git.bhatfamily.in`
|
||||
## Goal
|
||||
Expose local Gitea securely from home network while preserving Git-over-SSH support.
|
||||
## Recommended Cloudflare DNS records
|
||||
Create DNS records in Cloudflare for zone `bhatfamily.in`:
|
||||
1. `A` record
|
||||
- Name: `git`
|
||||
- Content: your home public IPv4
|
||||
- Proxy status: **DNS only** (gray cloud)
|
||||
2. Optional `AAAA` record
|
||||
- Name: `git`
|
||||
- Content: your home public IPv6
|
||||
- Proxy status: **DNS only**
|
||||
## Why DNS-only is recommended
|
||||
This setup uses direct inbound routing for both HTTPS and custom SSH (`2222` by default). DNS-only avoids Cloudflare proxy protocol limitations around direct SSH forwarding.
|
||||
## Router/NAT rules
|
||||
Create forwards to this server's LAN IP:
|
||||
- TCP 80 -> `<server_lan_ip>:80` (ACME challenge + redirect)
|
||||
- TCP 443 -> `<server_lan_ip>:443` (HTTPS via Caddy)
|
||||
- TCP 2222 -> `<server_lan_ip>:2222` (Git SSH)
|
||||
## Firewall alignment
|
||||
If UFW is active, use install flag to open public web ports:
|
||||
- `./scripts/install.sh --with-tls --open-public-web`
|
||||
To close those later:
|
||||
- `./scripts/uninstall.sh --with-tls --close-public-web`
|
||||
## ISP constraints check
|
||||
Some ISPs block inbound ports. Validate from outside your network:
|
||||
- `curl -I https://git.bhatfamily.in`
|
||||
- `nc -vz git.bhatfamily.in 2222`
|
||||
If blocked, use alternate routing (VPN/tunnel) or ISP-compatible ports.
|
||||
## Recommended hardening
|
||||
- Keep strong secrets in `.env`
|
||||
- Restrict SSH source ranges if practical
|
||||
- Keep containers patched (`docker compose pull` and recreate)
|
||||
- Add off-host backups for gitea/postgres/caddy data directories
|
||||
|
||||
## Post-cutover verification checklist
|
||||
Run these after DNS/NAT/firewall updates to confirm end-to-end readiness:
|
||||
1. DNS resolution
|
||||
- `dig +short git.bhatfamily.in A`
|
||||
2. HTTPS response and redirect chain
|
||||
- `curl -I https://git.bhatfamily.in`
|
||||
- `curl -I http://git.bhatfamily.in`
|
||||
3. Certificate validity/issuer
|
||||
- `openssl s_client -connect git.bhatfamily.in:443 -servername git.bhatfamily.in </dev/null 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -subject -issuer -dates`
|
||||
4. Git SSH port reachability
|
||||
- `nc -vz git.bhatfamily.in 2222`
|
||||
5. Stack self-check
|
||||
- `./scripts/test.sh --with-tls`
|
||||
If any check fails during first-time propagation, run:
|
||||
- `./scripts/test.sh --with-tls --allow-pending-external`
|
||||
Then re-run strict checks once DNS/certificate propagation completes.
