Cloudflared setup: Empty config.yml file - Manual creation or automatic generation?
Hey everyone, I'm trying to set up cloudflared but I'm hitting a snag. I'm getting an error saying my config file at /Users/by/.cloudflared/config.yml is empty. I'm not sure if I need to create this file manually or if there's a command that should generate it automatically. Has anyone dealt with this before? Any tips on how to properly populate the config file? Thanks in advance!

Depends, are you trying to set up from the dashboard or locally?
If from dash (which is what I would recommend): https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/get-started/create-remote-tunnel/ no need for manual configuration of tunnel

If from CLI/direct then yea you'd need to make your own config: https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/get-started/create-local-tunnel/
