Bridgeflare – Replace Docker with Cloudflare

Hey HN, I have way too many sideprojects so docker images have been eating up most of my RAM, but besides "deploy them" there isn't much I can do during development to cut it down. So I build Bridgeflare - a drop-in docker replacement that serves the containers on Cloudflare then tunnels them back to you as localhost. It basically a small daemon that uses the Docker API, so you can just keep using normal docker CLI commands and bridgeflare will do the work underneath: - Build your image - Deploy to CF containers - Setup tunneling across services - Tunnel them back safely to your machine so you see them as `localhost` - Small MacOS menu bar to monitor the running containers for ease of use In a way, it's like the reverse of CF's recently released quick tunnels. As always, it is early and there are some limits: - Images need to be amd64 based (CF containers limits) - No docker exec - No post-lifecycle persistence
