OpenWrt Cloudflare Tunnel Installer and Uninstaller v2026.4.1

Scripts to install, configure and uninstall Cloudflare Tunnels on OpenWrt, for both Raspberry Pi and x86 platforms. Downloads cloudflared directly from GitHub and handles tunnel setup and service configuration.

What's included

1. install-cloudflared.sh – Downloads cloudflared, walks through tunnel setup (local or web-managed), sets up the init.d service, and installs an updater with optional daily cron.
2. uninstall-cloudflared.sh – Removes everything: service, binary, updater, configs, and cron job.

Prerequisites

• Raspberry Pi or x86 running OpenWrt 24.10+ (opkg) or 25.12+ (apk)
• Root access
• Internet connection

Updating

Automatic

If you enabled the cron job during install, cloudflared is checked daily at 12:30 and updated if a new release is out.

Manual

/usr/sbin/cloudflared-update

Troubleshooting

• Not enough space – Installer checks for ~65 MB free and will tell you if there isn't enough.
• Unsupported architecture – Only aarch64 and x86_64 are supported.
• Permission errors – Run as root.
• Install fails halfway through – The installer rolls back automatically.
