I am making websites on behalf of my users, and I want them to have custom domains. I can have them point to the domain cloudflare recommends on pages.dev, but I don't want my users to do that for two reasons. First because I don't want them to need to know that we're using cloudflare, and second because if we switch away from cloudflare we'll need them to update their information. Is there a way to make it so they can point to my domain?

yep, see: https://walshy-pages-saas.cloudflare-docs-7ou.pages.dev/pages/how-to/setup-pages-saas/

I want to upload files to cloudflare, and I think the two options are the CLI and direct upload. By doing a direct upload I found the API used internally, but it isn't documented. Is it ok if I use this API?

yes you can, just if it isn't documented it can be changed at any time (though i will note, we have no plans to change it and have not done any breaking changes to it since introducing it)

@Walshy thanks, why is that docs page not published on the cloudflare docs?

WalshyOP•7/18/24, 12:17 AM

with the convergence work in flight, didn't want to add new tutorials there

busterroni•7/18/24, 12:17 AM

it is helpful thank you

busterroni•7/18/24, 12:18 AM

by the way I tried doing this a few months ago a different way, got an error but found a workaround pages-discussions

busterroni•7/18/24, 12:22 AM

is 20,000 builds a limit? there is no plan on the website that supports more builds, and that feels a little low if i'm building a service using pages

WalshyOP•7/18/24, 1:13 AM

you're doing direct uploads not builds

WalshyOP•7/18/24, 1:14 AM

but yes, 20k builds is the limit for paygo, ent is needed for more

WalshyOP•7/18/24, 1:15 AM

20k is ~30 builds an hour consistently for the entire month. A build every 2 mins is a lot regardless haha

Hello, I’m Allie!•7/18/24, 7:45 AM

Does this tutorial also allow the host to apply rules?

Yeah, as it isn't documented, it isn't officially supported by anything but wrangler

Original message was deleted

Hard@Work•7/18/24, 9:12 AM

Because we only support uploads via wranglerwrangler, not via the API

Erisa•7/18/24, 8:14 PM

You cant retrieve the source code, best you can do is list the files on the dashboard and then download those files manually

lordnikon•7/18/24, 9:16 PM

doh! that doesn't sound fun.

WWalshy you're doing direct uploads not builds

busterroni•7/18/24, 10:03 PM

a direct upload does not count as a build?

WalshyOP•7/18/24, 10:03 PM

it doesn't spin up a build :p

busterroni•7/18/24, 10:03 PM

so i can build my project on the free plan with a lot of users?

busterroni•7/18/24, 10:04 PM

you probably don't know enough about it to answer that. but each user will get their own project, we have direct upload, and each will have under 100 subdomains

busterroni•7/18/24, 10:14 PM

@Walshy I'm reading Setup Pages for a SaaS platform and trying to follow it. Does every customer have a CNAME to customers.example.com? If so how is a user directed to a customer's website without a server?

Isaac McFadyen•7/18/24, 10:15 PM

So Cloudflare will internally look at the association of sites to pages projects and send the request to the Pages site that has the customer's hostname.

Isaac McFadyen•7/18/24, 10:16 PM

You add the customer's hostname to Pages (but then CNAME to the main one, customers.example.com)

Isaac McFadyen•7/18/24, 10:16 PM

Then Pages knows where to send requests.

Isaac McFadyen•7/18/24, 10:16 PM

(correct me if I'm wrong though Walshy)

WalshyOP•7/18/24, 10:16 PM

so for one project for all customers, they can share a cname e.g.

customers.example.com

customers.example.com

for one project per-customer best to do their own cname so

<customer-name>.customers.example.com

<customer-name>.customers.example.com

Bbusterroni so i can build my project on the free plan with a lot of users?

busterroni•7/18/24, 10:19 PM

I am not doing one project for all customers. What is a use-case for doing that?

Bbusterroni how do I add the customer's hostname to pages?

Isaac McFadyen•7/18/24, 10:19 PM

You'll need to use the API probably. If you have 1 or 2 customers you can manually add them in the dashboard but that won't scale to many customers.

WalshyOP•7/18/24, 10:20 PM

there's saas' where they aren't changing much per-customer in the looks department, it's mostly just loading backend data so they can use a Function to handle both of those (rewrite HTML + fetch data)

WalshyOP•7/18/24, 10:20 PM

those can have thousands of customers on a single project

busterroni•7/18/24, 10:24 PM

i am testing adding a subdomain on the dashboard and got

Verification is in undefined status

Verification is in undefined status

busterroni•7/18/24, 10:24 PM

now it is working

busterroni•7/18/24, 10:26 PM

@Walshy I am going to do the approach of a subdomain for each user, so user.customers.example.com, but to test it I tried adding customers.example.com to two different projects and on the second got

That domain is already associated with an existing project. Use a different domain or find the project already using this domain and remove it.

busterroni•7/18/24, 10:26 PM

Is that expected?

WalshyOP•7/18/24, 10:27 PM

so user.customers.example.com, but to test it I tried adding customers.example.com

did you add two distinct user domains or

customers

customers

WalshyOP•7/18/24, 10:27 PM

if the latter, then yeah, the error is what it says

busterroni•7/18/24, 10:27 PM

Both projects have customers.example.com

WalshyOP•7/18/24, 10:27 PM

yeah that'll be why, you'd need <user>.customers.

busterroni•7/18/24, 10:28 PM

Right I would expect this error, that's what I was asking about earlier. But the docs you shared suggest this approach I think?

WalshyOP•7/18/24, 10:28 PM

it says you can do that, it's mainly setting up a single project there not multiple

WalshyOP•7/18/24, 10:29 PM

goes back to the different way of saasing, one project vs multiple

for you, you'd want a customer domain per-project whereas one project can share

busterroni•7/18/24, 10:29 PM

ok I think the docs could be more clear. I'm happy to make a contribution btw

WalshyOP•7/18/24, 10:29 PM

busterroni•7/18/24, 10:29 PM

@Isaac McFadyen I may have misunderstood your messages, if not then I'm not sure we're on the same page about how this works

busterroni•7/18/24, 10:30 PM

@Walshy there is a way I could do it so there is a project per user, and also all users have customers.example.com. But I'd need to add some kind of server code right?

WalshyOP•7/18/24, 10:31 PM

you'd need a worker in front to route based on hostname (or whatever)
