CloudFlare Plugin install on cpanel
CloudFlare is a performance and security service. With 14 points of presence around the world, a website on CloudFlare typically loads twice as fast, uses 65% less server resources, saves 60% of bandwidth and has an additional layer of security. Hosting Providers get reduced server load, bandwidth savings, mitigation of DDoS attacks and and IPv4/v6 gateway.
The CloudFlare cPanel plugin makes it easy to integrate into your hosting control panel. It takes less than 5 minutes to install on a test server and then the service is available to your end customers with two clicks.
Installation
Install cloudflare cpanel plugin Using an SSH client such as Terminal or Putty:
Step 1. Access cPanel for the server using root user by:
ssh root@SERVER IP ADDRESS or SERVER NAME
Step 2.
cd /usr/local/cpanel
Step 3.
curl -k -L https://github.com/cloudflare/CloudFlare-CPanel/tarball/master > cloudflare.tar.gz
Step 4.
tar -zxvf cloudflare.tar.gz
This extracts a directory that includes a UNIQUE ID. For example, the directory will be in this format:
cloudflare-CloudFlare-CPanel-d03f3b8
The UNIQUE ID is only: d03f3b8
The UNIQUE ID is not cloudflare-CloudFlare-CPanel-d03f3b8
Step 5.
cd cloudflare-CloudFlare-CPanel-UNIQUE ID/cloudflare/
Step 6.
./install_cf API HOST KEY mod_cf “YOUR COMPANY NAME”
example for Awesome Hosting Company: ./install_cf 56yt8x9s987dfy4324bnv mod_cf “Awesome Hosting”
Step 7. This will start the installation. cPanel is installed first, followed by mod_cloudflare. Depending on your server, it will take between 15 seconds and 4 minutes. You know it will be done when you see:
CloudFlare module installed successfully
Step 8. CloudFlare is now successfully added to this server. You need to repeat the process for each additional server (unless you have an automatic update script).
Best SysAdmin practices
Now that CloudFlare is installed, you can remove some of the unnecessary remnant files:
Step 9.
cd ../ ../
This takes you back two levels.
Step 10.
rm -rf cloudflare-CloudFlare-CPanel-UNIQUE ID*
To check if it is installed:
cat /etc/cloudflare.json
You should see an output with the following:
root@server1 [/usr/local/cpanel]# cat etc/cloudflare.json
{
“host_key”:”32yt5a7b436tuy8974tre -”, (For security purposes, this will not be your host key.)
“host_formal_name”:”Awesome Hosting”,
“host_name”:”api.cloudflare.com”,
“host_uri”:”/host-gw.html”,
“user_name”:”www.cloudflare.com”,
“user_uri”:”/api_json.html”,
“host_port”:”443”,
“host_prefix”:”cloudflare-resolve-to”,
“cp_version”:”1.3.0”
}
Uninstall:
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/unregister_cpanelplugin /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/cloudflare.cpanelplugin
