thanks @Hard@Work - and do you know if there's a way to check (from within a DO) where it was spawned?

AviOP•4/25/25, 10:37 PM

i assume

req.cf

req.cf

would indicate the location of the where the request came from, not where it was served from

AviOP•4/25/25, 10:44 PM

interesting- is there any documentation/commitment to support that? or is that just a clever trick?

Sseflanka Is there any ETA on when Cloudflare SQL D1 clusters will be available in Brazil?...

Chaika•4/25/25, 10:45 PM

Cloudflare doesn't really do ETAs, not until something is very close. D1 depends on Durable Objects being in the location. They talked about supporting South America and India supported by the end of 2025 but obviously that never happened, would assume it's still something they're working towards though

Chaika•4/25/25, 10:48 PM

I don't think it's documented anywhere but can't imagine they'd ever mess with it too much. Fundamentally you're fetching inside of the Durable Object, routing to another location wouldn't make sense. Afaik rn it's all handled on the same machine that the durable object is on. It's been a thing for years now
Fetching /cdn-cgi/trace and parsing it is something cloudflare itself does as well on some of their pages/utilities.

Here's a one-liner:

Hard@Work•4/25/25, 11:17 PM

Yep(and note too that the location is derived from the IP of the incoming request, which may not necessarily be accurate)

AviOP•4/25/25, 11:47 PM

strange, even though

AviOP•4/25/25, 11:47 PM

its like somehow it... knows

AviOP•4/25/25, 11:47 PM

yet the DO is apparently definitely running in a supported region (France is supported, HK is not)

AviOP•4/25/25, 11:47 PM

i just can't figure out how this is possible

Hard@Work•4/25/25, 11:51 PM

FRA

FRA

is Frankfurt in Germany. But also, iirc, requests from Workers still pass along a connecting IP header, and I'm wondering if that also happens for the DO

AviOP•4/25/25, 11:51 PM

ahhh

Hard@Work•4/25/25, 11:53 PM

That's what I'm guessing might be happening

Hard@Work•4/25/25, 11:53 PM

Also might be some other kind of detection system, idk

Chaika•4/25/25, 11:55 PM

Looks like openai does use cf for their API as well

HHard@Work That's what I'm guessing *might* be happening

AviOP•4/25/25, 11:58 PM

i just set up a server that will print all headers of incoming requests and im gonna test this

Is it possible to control the Playwright instance of Browser Rendering API using prompts through the playwright-mcp server?

LordSilver•4/26/25, 7:04 AM

I would like inside a worker to write a few promtps "navigate to this site, click this, extract this info".

Elia•4/26/25, 1:11 PM

Hey guys, https://phantom.com (the crypto wallet) keeps sending phishing reports through various entities to my side-project hosted on https://phantom.ac (solely because the domain names match)

Here's a sample of what I have to deal with on a regular basis, where my DNS provider namecheap got a report due to some reporting a Nextcloud instance's login page as "phishing".

Issue is that due to these countless reports, CF now labels my pages deployment as "likely phishing" due to reports like these.

Elia•4/26/25, 1:11 PM

Any thing else I can do other than respond to CF Trust and Safety? People are paying for these tools and can't access them right now

James•4/26/25, 1:49 PM

Sadly all you can do is work with Trust and Safety, sorry

RRicky U Can someone help me about how to get Secrets Store working locally? https://disc...

fforres•4/26/25, 4:13 PM

+1 to this thread. I was checking that now. I imagine as a security measure you cannot access remotely created secrets on local. (makes sense)

If you work on your .dev.vars is great, but running a team, one of the benefits is centralized secret access for some variables.

Share some remote service tokens, or that same service address for example.
...but your local DB address/password is your own setup

Would love for some examples on a development flow that leverages local (.dev.vars) + secret store

fforres•4/26/25, 4:14 PM

We had a 1password CLI integration to load vars and dumping them in .dev.vars... but it's an overkill IMO

specially if we could do

secrets store

Silvan•4/27/25, 3:05 PM

im currently running like 1 vite and 5 workers in a monorepo using turbo. i was wondering if i should instead use wrangler dev -c and run it all in 1 process. i have a feeling this will be the recommended way going forward :thinkies:

any opinions on that?

Bonadio•4/27/25, 8:08 PM

I created a simple template using TanStack Start with Cloudflare Workers, Drizzle, and D1 for anyone that want to try TanStack Start framework on CloudFlare Workers, works very well. Seems a good option for a NextJS alternative. I worked with Remix and TanStack Start seems an evolution.

Thanks for the repo. One suggestion: a seed script and mention in the readme how to populate the DB.

I'm so excited for containers on workers

Mr. Technician•4/28/25, 12:23 AM

the only part of my infrastructure that I can't run on Cloudflare is my browsers since the existing browser rendering API doesn't support the stealth plugin

mr.niko.la•4/28/25, 3:49 AM

Regarding Cloudflare Workers AI, could someone form CF provide some sample code for implementation for the whisper model ? Despite Workers being reasonably priced and having a nice platform, their documentation is incomplete all I need is a sample code!!!! and I've spent considerable time trying to make it work.

This discord is it even official I am unable to ever get any devs to answer this for the past month

edit: whisper turbo sample code.

or _prevent_ a worker from running in a particular region?
