Steps
- Create a Github account
- Create a Cloudflare account
- Add your payment method. Paypal supported.
- Activate your R2 service
1 Log into your Gtihub Account. Fork this project:
https://github.com/longern/FlareDrive
Name it as FlareDrive or something else.
2 Log into Cloudflare and create a R2 bucket
Make sure there is public access to this R2 bucket, which is to create a custom domain for it.
3 Create a new Cloudflare page and connect to Git
4 Deploy a site from your github account's FlareDrive repository.
Your Github account's FlareDrive repository is the one we created in step 1.
5 Set up Admin Username and Password
From page's setting, add three vaiables:
WEBDAV_PASSWORD :
WEBDAV_USERNAME : It will be used to create folder and upload files
WEBDAV_PUBLIC_READ : If the vaule set to 1, that means it will allow public to read.
6 Create R2 bucket binding to this page.
7 Redeploy again
From view details of your page, you can click Retry deployment from the dropdown menu of Manage deployment.
8 Set up a custom domain for your page
