The silly thing is if it's a direct upload project you can't access that UI

ChaikaOP•12/4/23, 7:44 PM

If you want to change it, you have to use the API

James•12/4/23, 7:45 PM

Oh... wow. Good info, thanks @Chaika!

CChaika The silly thing is if it's a direct upload project you can't access that UI

Ashley•12/4/23, 8:02 PM

Yeah, this is what I meant

This seems mad to me that it’s not in the UI, hopefully on a backlog somewhere to be addresses - glad I wasn’t going mad, thank you!

simeononsecurity•12/4/23, 9:58 PM

Is there any way to get past the cloudflare pages page/file limit? I just hit it today and I don't really have alternatives.

simeononsecurity•12/4/23, 9:59 PM

I assume there is no paid option either.
Can you recommend any alternative other than netlify?

simeononsecurity•12/4/23, 10:03 PM

Yeah neither of those are good for me unfortunately. It's a hugo based website.
What's the point of using any of these services if we can't use them for full fledged websites.
Oh well.
Thanks for the help @Unknown user

itsmatteomanf•12/4/23, 10:04 PM

You could always build somewhere else then upload... is it ideal? No. Would it work? Yes.

itsmatteomanf•12/4/23, 10:04 PM

Would it be free? No.

Iitsmatteomanf Would it be free? No.

simeononsecurity•12/4/23, 10:06 PM

I'm not concerned with the free part. I'd be willing to pay.
But it seems everywhere has either a build time limit, cpu compute limit, or page limit.
Free or Paid there is no way around it without somewhat significant development efforts if you even get it at all.
I'm currently using github actions to build my site and deploying to either netlify or cloudflare pages depending on the language.
Netlify is slow and takes like 20 minutes to upload the site to their cache Then they have the audacity to charge me for it. Meanwhile I can do the same in my testing env in les than a minute.
Cloudflare pages has a surprisingly low file limit.

itsmatteomanf•12/4/23, 10:07 PM

Yeah, that's how they get you to go higher in plans.
You can always build in GitHub Actions and then upload. It's not really that complex.

simeononsecurity•12/4/23, 10:11 PM

I've less experience with workers than pages and netlify.
The automations aren't difficult. I'm already at least halfway there. I already use github actions to build the site.
But workers is significant for non developers. And just annoying due to arbitrary limits for files on pages for devs. Not to mention that it gets expensive because of request limits.
I'd have to set the worker redirects and headers up manually. At that point, I'd be better off using a traditional cpanel host.

itsmatteomanf•12/4/23, 10:12 PM

They are different things, headers could work with some other Cloudflare tool, but fully agree there, not ideal. I'd love for that limit to be raised, but as far as I know is structural to how it's fetching assets, at the moment.

itsmatteomanf•12/4/23, 10:13 PM

Just out of curiosity, how are you generating 25k files?! Images? Actual pages?

Iitsmatteomanf Just out of curiosity, how are you generating 25k files?! Images? Actual pages?

simeononsecurity•12/4/23, 10:15 PM

Hugo static site generator.
I have 700 articles, each with multiple images, every image has multiple optimized versions and sizes, every category and tag also produces another page as well, then include multiple json, xml, js, etc files and you hit the 25k limit really quickly.
I've been past it on my main website for some time I'm at more like 200k files now. I only use cloudflare pages now for some of the translations that have fewer pages and files. But I'm starting to reach the limit on those as well.

itsmatteomanf•12/4/23, 10:16 PM

One idea would be moving images to Cloudflare Images, but also at that volume it'd be probably better to the SSR route...

itsmatteomanf•12/4/23, 10:16 PM

How many of those pages are actually getting hit on average?

Iitsmatteomanf How many of those pages are actually getting hit on average?

simeononsecurity•12/4/23, 10:18 PM

It's not like I run a crazy popular website.
But I'm not doing anything crazy either. I'm just implementing the best practices that everyone should be doing on their websites.
Cloudflare images is an insane cost and isn't worth it for any site IMO. It takes two seconds to convert it to better formats. And it's a repeated cost for something that is only needed to be done once per image.
Each of my articles average 50-100 views per month. So not crazy. But definitely not enough to justify incredible costs.

itsmatteomanf•12/4/23, 10:19 PM

But also not too bad for numbers... Image prices isn't ideal.

itsmatteomanf•12/4/23, 10:19 PM

R2 wouldn't be too bad, in this case

itsmatteomanf•12/4/23, 10:20 PM

But headers and such is not the best.

simeononsecurity•12/4/23, 10:21 PM

Looks like I've got some reading to do.
But it's incredible.
Everyone recommends static site generators and to use netlify or pages or whatever. But they just don't scale at all and you have no options other than to just "get good" and spend money like it's going out of style.
I see why everyone eventually goes to self-hosted and/or on-prem. These solutions just don't scale.
Only recommend for simple and throwaway sites.

anyone has tried to deploy pages with more than 20000 files, in my case not problem with images just too many posts for a massive web site, I asked for a increase in the limits but not sure how long it will take., I've read your comments @simeononsecurity what will you do? will switch to another platform.

Consider SSR? it's pretty easy with Hono. https://hono.dev

You could have your content in a CMS or KV or D1.

Hono is a small, simple, and ultrafast web framework for the Edges. It works on Cloudflare Workers, Fastly Compute, Deno, Bun, Vercel, Netlify, Lagon, AWS Lambda, Lambda@Edge, and Node.js. Fast, but not only fast.

ChaikaOP•12/5/23, 4:18 PM

Seems to think that domain is external/not in your CF account (or maybe just not active?)

Constantin•12/5/23, 4:19 PM

it's internal (managed in the same cf account where pages live)

Constantin•12/5/23, 4:20 PM

now A is pointing to a different ip however

ChaikaOP•12/5/23, 4:20 PM

A while ago it used to get confused if it was in two accounts/you had just moved it

ChaikaOP•12/5/23, 4:21 PM

oh is that just the screen you're looking at after you added it? opps

ChaikaOP•12/5/23, 4:22 PM

Either you changed the CNAME it added for you, or it did just get confused. You could manually change the DNS Record, delete the current one and add

CNAME

CNAME

Target

, or delete the current Custom domain and readd it and it should be able to change it for you

ChaikaOP•12/5/23, 4:29 PM

Nice, looks like it's working now. Out of caution, did you change it or did it just never adjust it? Sometimes people use third party integrations like Ezotic which can override changes and confuse people

As long as you are using CF DNS yea https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/how-to/custom-branch-aliases/

Add a custom domain to a branch · Cloudflare Pages docs

In this guide, you will learn how to add a custom domain (staging.example.com) that will point to a specific branch (staging) on your Pages project.

just prefix 'staging.' to the dns record?

Good day! First time Cloudflare Pages user here!

Is there a way to replace "npm clean-install" with "npm install --legacy-peer-deps"?

Bryce Wray•12/6/23, 3:07 PM

Question about using a _headers_headers file with a Pages project: does it support regex? For example, would the following work?

/(.*).(ac3|avi|bmp|br|bz2|css|cue|dat|doc|docx|dts|eot|exe|flv|gif|gz|ico|img|iso|jpeg|jpg|js|json|map|mkv|mp3|mp4|mpeg|mpg|ogg|pdf|png|ppt|pptx|qt|rar|rm|svg|swf|tar|tgz|ttf|txt|wav|webp|webm|webmanifest|woff|woff2|xls|xlsx|xml|zip)
    Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable
    CDN-Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable
    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff

/(.*).(ac3|avi|bmp|br|bz2|css|cue|dat|doc|docx|dts|eot|exe|flv|gif|gz|ico|img|iso|jpeg|jpg|js|json|map|mkv|mp3|mp4|mpeg|mpg|ogg|pdf|png|ppt|pptx|qt|rar|rm|svg|swf|tar|tgz|ttf|txt|wav|webp|webm|webmanifest|woff|woff2|xls|xlsx|xml|zip)
    Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable
    CDN-Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable
    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff

I currently use a Worker for this, but after one of my posts went semi-viral yesterday and blew through my monthly limit, am wondering whether I’m better off doing it through _headers_headers if that's possible.

Note: There’s no space between (.*).(.*). and (ac3|(ac3| , above; it just looks that way because of how the long line broke in this view.

(Also asked on the Discourse forum at https://community.cloudflare.com/t/regex-in-a-pages-headers-file/588889 — where I was advised that the answer is “No.” Just noting here for the record.)

Rrenzor is pages compatible with wrangler.toml?
