Self-hosted apps

appflare

by appflare

Appflare is a manager that installs and updates open-source apps inside your own Cloudflare account, rather than on a separate server. It gives you one dashboard for updates, custom domains and access control across more than 100 catalogue apps.

Hidden gemAppflare gives you one dashboard to install, update, roll back and put custom domains and Cloudflare Access on 100+ open-source apps. The apps run in your own Cloudflare account and keep working without Appflare, so you get self-hosting without the server upkeep or lock-in. Best for freelancers and small teams wanting self-hosted tools on Cloudflare without devops work.

What you can do with it

  • Browse a catalogue of open-source apps for analytics, email, files and AI, and install them from your browser
  • Update apps, follow installs in a live log, and roll back to an earlier version where supported
  • Add custom domains to apps and protect them with Cloudflare Access

Make money with it

A freelancer could offer a service that sets up and maintains self-hosted analytics, SEO or link tools in clients' own Cloudflare accounts.

An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.

Ways a business could use it

  • Run your own website analytics and short-link tools on Cloudflare's free plan instead of paying for separate hosted subscriptions
  • Set up internal tools behind Cloudflare Access for a small team without managing servers

Can you use it commercially?

Things to check

  • Requires a Cloudflare account, and some apps need the paid Workers plan
  • Some catalogue apps use third-party services with their own pricing
  • Each catalogue app has its own licence and quality
  • Independent project, not affiliated with Cloudflare
