Hello Reddit!
Recently I’ve got myself back into the self-hosting hobby and setup Nextcloud on a server i built myself. (Ryzen 7 5700X, Nvidia RTX 2060 Super, 50 GB RAM XMP enabled - orwhatever the name is on AMD side) Running Debian Stable Bookworm. My services are hosted as docker containers and I’m exposing them throught the nginx-proxy container that has 443 and 80 forwarded.
Currently, I’m using Cloudflare as my DNS provider to protect and proxy my setups. However, I’m not 100% happy with the performance I’m getting from the Cloudflare proxy. Plus my Nextcloud app on android is running alot of double uploads - way more than expected. As a sidenote, I’m also not running my collabora/code server behind a cloudflare proxy because I was experiencing weird issues of some assets in Nextcloud office not rendering correctly if I do. Thus, I’m considering moving some of my services to Cloudflare Tunnel instead.
Now I’m wondering, is there any form of performance benefits between cloudflare proxy and cloudflare tunnel? I know that the main benefit for cloudflare tunnel is security since you have establish the tunnel using cloudflared before you can access the service. But I’m more curious about the difference in performance between these two solutions.
Sounds like the issue is with your setup. Not Cloudflare. Figure out why android is double uploading.
I just did some digging around, and it looks like it’s a common known issue for the android client:

I guess i’d just deal with it for now, hopefully this gets resolved soon.
