Deploy Jant on Cloudflare

  1. Step 1: Set up Appflare in your Cloudflare account

    Once

    Appflare installs itself into your own Cloudflare account from your browser, and runs on the free Workers plan, as Jant does. See what Jant needs on your account.

    Set up AppflareAlready have Appflare? Install Jant

  2. Step 2: Install Jant

    Jant needs no keys or settings from you.

    Appflare generates a value for you: Session secret.

    It also has three optional settings you can leave for later.

    One switch on the form puts Jant behind Cloudflare Access, so only the people who use your Appflare can open it.

  3. Step 3: Finish setting it up

    After the install, Appflare shows a short step for Jant, on its page.

With Appflare instead of by hand

  • Nothing to build on your computerAppflare sets itself up from your browser, with no API token to create and nothing to install.
  • Updates in one clickAppflare tells you when the catalog has a new version, and Update installs it.
  • Health checksAfter every install and update, Appflare checks that the app answers.
  • It stays in your own accountEverything runs on your Cloudflare account and your plan, and Appflare records what it creates, so an uninstall removes it.

  • R2 storageThis app needs it

Questions

Does Jant run on Cloudflare's free plan?

Yes. Jant runs on Cloudflare's free Workers plan, and so does Appflare.

What does Jant create in my Cloudflare account?

Appflare creates a Worker for Jant and the resources it uses: D1 databases and R2 buckets. Appflare records each resource it creates; an uninstall deletes them, keeping any data you choose to keep.

How do I update Jant?

When the catalog has a new version, Jant's page in Appflare says Update available. Select Update: Appflare takes a snapshot first, so you can roll back to the version before. You can also let Appflare update it automatically.

Is Jant open source?

Yes, under AGPL-3.0-or-later. An open-source license: you may use, change and share the app on its terms. Its source code is at github.com/jant-me/jant.
