Help Needed with Cloudflare Zero Trust, Pages, and Workers for ReactFlux + MiniFlux Setup
Hi everyone,
I'm new to Cloudflare and have been trying to set up a self-hosted project on my Raspberry Pi 500. I'm mostly self-taught, so I apologize if I misunderstand anything or miss important details. Here's my situation:
1. Current Setup:
- I'm running the self-hosted RSS feed reader MiniFlux on my Raspberry Pi 500 (Arch Linux ARM, installed via Pacman).
- The setup uses Caddy as a reverse proxy, a Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnel, and Cloudflare Access for SSO.
- My Cloudflare Access application is configured to allow all origins, methods, and headers. It has a policy that allows specific emails or login methods (e.g., GitHub).
2. What I'm Trying to Do:
- I want to deploy ReactFlux, an alternative frontend for MiniFlux, on Cloudflare Pages.
- Before setting it up fully, I tested the ReactFlux demo with my MiniFlux instance at
3. Suspected Issue:
- I believe the issue is caused by Cloudflare Access protection blocking ReactFlux from accessing the MiniFlux API (
4. What I've Tried So Far:
- I added another hostname (
- I also tried setting up the hostname with "Protect with Access" turned off but got the same results.
- Next, I attempted to use a Cloudflare Worker written in JavaScript to bypass authentication for
5. What I Need Help With:
- How can I properly configure Cloudflare so ReactFlux can access the MiniFlux API (
- I've been stuck on this for a couple of days and would really appreciate any guidance or suggestions!
Thanks in advance for your help!

- Before setting it up fully, I tested the ReactFlux demo with my MiniFlux instance at
https://rss.laniecarmelo.tech. However, ReactFlux couldn't log in.3. Suspected Issue:
- I believe the issue is caused by Cloudflare Access protection blocking ReactFlux from accessing the MiniFlux API (
https://rss.laniecarmelo.tech/v1/*).4. What I've Tried So Far:
- I added another hostname (
rss.laniecarmelo.tech/v1/*) to my tunnel configuration and created a new Cloudflare Access application with a policy set to "Bypass" for everyone. However, this didn't work—when testing the API endpoint in a private browser window, I'm still asked to sign into Cloudflare.- I also tried setting up the hostname with "Protect with Access" turned off but got the same results.
- Next, I attempted to use a Cloudflare Worker written in JavaScript to bypass authentication for
/v1/*, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything (or isn't being triggered).5. What I Need Help With:
- How can I properly configure Cloudflare so ReactFlux can access the MiniFlux API (
/v1/*) while keeping the rest of my MiniFlux instance protected by Cloudflare Access?- I've been stuck on this for a couple of days and would really appreciate any guidance or suggestions!
Thanks in advance for your help!
