Deploy Screendrop Cloud 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 Screendrop Cloud does. See what Screendrop Cloud needs on your account.

    Set up AppflareAlready have Appflare? Install Screendrop Cloud

  2. Step 2: Install Screendrop Cloud

    The install form asks you for:

    • Upload token

    Appflare generates a value for you: Session key.

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

    One switch on the form puts Screendrop Cloud 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 two short steps for Screendrop Cloud, 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.

Questions

Does Screendrop Cloud run on Cloudflare's free plan?

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

What does Screendrop Cloud create in my Cloudflare account?

Appflare creates a Worker for Screendrop Cloud 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 Screendrop Cloud?

When the catalog has a new version, Screendrop Cloud'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 Screendrop Cloud open source?

Yes, under MIT. An open-source license: you may use, change and share the app on its terms. Its source code is at github.com/fayazara/Screendrop.
