Glad some of you find this useful. I have been using this method since it came out this summer (July 2022). I run my infrastructure (Web Server, WeeWX, MQTT, MariaDB) as containers in one stack in its own network all in Docker. I do this to limit what the cloudflare tunnel can access on my network (just WeeWx stuff). All of this works in docker in one stack and one YAML file!
Like Tom Lawerence mentioned in the video I attached, you have to put Cloudflare in your "circle of trust" as you are depending on them for both the client and server/edge side of the tunnel. You have to make that determination on your own if you are comfortable with that. As other methods mentioned here, they are all great alternatives. I was not aware adafriut offered a dashboard to present your data. That can be a good alternative than going through the hassle of hosting a full website for your station. If I get a free moment in a few weeks, I can post a step-by-step article on onboarding your WeeWX weather station as a public website using Cloudflare. I think it can help a lot of users who struggle with the network & security setup.
