Setup Cloudflare Tunnel client for GitHub Actions.
This action installs cloudflared for use in actions by installing it on tool cache using AnimMouse/tool-cache.
This GitHub action participated in the GitHub Actions Hackathon 2021, but sadly, it lost.
Test page for setup-cloudflared: https://setup-cloudflared.44444444.xyz (This will only work when the test action is running.)

To gracefully shutdown Cloudflare Tunnel after being started in the background, use the AnimMouse/setup-cloudflared/shutdown
action as composite actions does not support post:
yet.
The Shutdown Cloudflare Tunnel
action should have if: '! cancelled()'
so that it will run even if the workflow fails.
steps: - name: Setup cloudflared uses: AnimMouse/setup-cloudflared@v2 - name: Setup cloudflared tunnel uses: AnimMouse/setup-cloudflared/tunnel@v2 with: cloudflare_tunnel_credential: ${{ secrets.CLOUDFLARE_TUNNEL_CREDENTIAL }} cloudflare_tunnel_configuration: ${{ vars.CLOUDFLARE_TUNNEL_CONFIGURATION }} cloudflare_tunnel_id: ${{ vars.CLOUDFLARE_TUNNEL_ID }} - name: Start Python HTTP server run: timeout 5m python -m http.server 8080 || true - name: Shutdown and view logs of cloudflared if: '! cancelled()' uses: AnimMouse/setup-cloudflared/shutdown@v2
If you don't want to automatically start Cloudflare Tunnel in the background, set autostart:
to false
.
steps: - name: Setup cloudflared uses: AnimMouse/setup-cloudflared@v2 - name: Setup cloudflared tunnel uses: AnimMouse/setup-cloudflared/tunnel@v2 with: cloudflare_tunnel_credential: ${{ secrets.CLOUDFLARE_TUNNEL_CREDENTIAL }} cloudflare_tunnel_configuration: ${{ vars.CLOUDFLARE_TUNNEL_CONFIGURATION }} cloudflare_tunnel_id: ${{ vars.CLOUDFLARE_TUNNEL_ID }} autostart: false - name: Manually start cloudflared tunnel run: timeout 5m cloudflared tunnel run || true
