Whats latency like if they don't have a nearby DC?

gnarley_farley.OP•8/9/25, 8:12 AM

Better than 13 second cold starts on containers. Forsure.

What does it cost to get more bandwidth?

gnarley_farley.OP•8/9/25, 8:13 AM

A lot

gnarley_farley.OP•8/9/25, 8:14 AM

Depends though on your use case. If you processing video for users

gnarley_farley.OP•8/9/25, 8:14 AM

This is way too expensive

1984 Ford Laser•8/9/25, 8:14 AM

no with racknerd I know how to read CF docs

gnarley_farley.OP•8/9/25, 8:14 AM

They have a lot of unlimited plans

gnarley_farley.OP•8/9/25, 8:15 AM

For like 200$+ a year for a pretty sick vm and unlimited download and upload

gnarley_farley.OP•8/9/25, 8:17 AM

Example 7tb per month for 28$ per year.

gnarley_farley.OP•8/9/25, 8:18 AM

1 tb for cf containers cost more than this yearly cost.

1984 Ford Laser•8/9/25, 8:18 AM

CF Containers isnt intended to be a 24/7/365 product

gnarley_farley.OP•8/9/25, 8:19 AM

where you get 84 terrabytes of egress.. yeah we not looking for 24/7 products.

1984 Ford Laser•8/9/25, 8:19 AM

the egress is also cheaper than what aws charges for ec2 at least in my region

gnarley_farley.OP•8/9/25, 8:31 AM

Let's compare to their own services instead. I would happily pay them 1 bar a month at the right price. The current fee's just make it something we won't ever use. End of story

Error checking 8787: connect(): Connection refused: container port not found. Make sure you exposed the port in your container definition.

Error checking 8787: connect(): Connection refused: container port not found. Make sure you exposed the port in your container definition.

Why is it checking 8787? Also anybody found a way to fix this?

EEelco Downgrading to "@cloudflare/containers": "0.0.19", from 0.0.22 fixed it.

Code Cowboy•8/9/25, 2:40 PM

Wow @Eelco you are a legend, downgrading to 0.0.19 fixed local dev for me, super frustrating

do containers work with cloudflare tail log workers? trying to understand how I can push logs to axiom logging service without changing app code, sticking logpush product behind an enterprise account seems an odd decision given infrastructure manages the logs is a core part of the 12factor methodology.

Sscotto How can I check that if it's automated as far as I know

scotto•8/10/25, 6:34 PM

Any help @kian ?

berkant•8/10/25, 9:32 PM

Hi, do Cache Rules or stuff like

{cf: {cacheEverything: true}}

{cf: {cacheEverything: true}}

apply to containers if called fetch on them?

nickGPT•8/11/25, 1:44 AM

Does anyone know, a way to minimize the container cold start time? Trying to get it to be 2-3 seconds, but is right now 13 seconds. Thought I could make it smaller by reducing the image size and using buildx to create a optimized build for the linux/amd64 container runtime, but no luck

Code Cowboy•8/11/25, 5:24 AM

Is there a way to increase 2GB image size limit?

pandalambda2•8/11/25, 7:11 AM

how does outbound http requests work from a container? does the infra still smash on CF-Worker request header?

jmickelly•8/11/25, 9:34 AM

Is there an update to this?

pandalambda2•8/11/25, 12:30 PM

you would definitely expect this channel to be driving their FAQ and early feedback especially this early in the product launch, it's shame there seems to be little CF staff activity here

pandalambda2•8/11/25, 12:30 PM

each time I read the docs I end up with more questions than I started

Sscotto Any help @kian ?

How are you measuring this - is it from a new deployment -> opening Worker or just an existing image being slow to start instances?

Chaika•8/11/25, 4:19 PM

That should be just disk size that is increased and not image size, at least according to the docs https://developers.cloudflare.com/containers/platform-details/#limits

kian•8/11/25, 4:22 PM

I'll ask the team if the docs are outdated but I did ask about images :meowthinking:

kian•8/11/25, 4:25 PM

Docs need updating - image size scales with disk size.

It'll come from the IPs on https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/ips/ but otherwise no

pandalambda2•8/12/25, 12:53 AM

if there any patterns/practices how one could authenticate outbound requests from a container other than say mutual tls, the IPs are shared across everyone so that doesn't appear practical, is there any plan to support cf.worker.upstream_zone? perhaps unchaining outbound worker support from workers for platform to achieve this?

Hello everyone,
I want to build a container with Python for Cloudflare.
I have a crontab trigger set up to call the container on a schedule. However, when I try to build the container, I encounter an error.

Alexander Lewis•8/12/25, 11:50 AM

Has anyone come across this error when creating a custom instance? If I set the values of the custom instance to match a named instance, it works fine, but say I change vcpu to 1, this will happen?

John Spurlock•8/12/25, 8:34 PM

hmm, wondering if egress from containers -> its associated DO is billed?

pandalambda2•8/13/25, 2:35 AM

I think it must be otherwise you just proxy everything and get free unlimited/egress?

pandalambda2•8/13/25, 2:35 AM

but then that does raise the question what about communication with KV, D1, queues, R2 etc.. ?

pandalambda2•8/13/25, 4:26 AM

kian•8/13/25, 9:43 PM

It looks like this was a change where the port in the URL (i.e 8787 for local Wrangler dev) started being used

kian•8/13/25, 9:44 PM

You should be able to use

.containerFetch(request, <port>)

.containerFetch(request, <port>)

.fetch(switchPort(request, <port>))

.fetch(switchPort(request, <port>))

JJohn Spurlock hmm, wondering if egress from containers -> its associated DO is billed?

thats kind of what I was wondering, and yea I am assuing it is or else you would just use the DO as a proxy

gruntlord is right - that Wrangler version is older than when the Containers scope was added to the login command
