Deploy the app

1. Click the button and sign in to Cloudflare.

   Deploy to Cloudflare

2. Under Git account, connect your GitHub account. Keep Create private Git repository ticked.

   Cloudflare copies NoteFlare into a repository that belongs to you. Every change you push there is deployed automatically.

3. Fill in the form. Almost everything stays as it is:

   Field	What to do
   Project name	Keep noteflare.
   D1 database	Keep Create new and the name noteflare. Leave read replication off.
   ACCESS_TEAM_DOMAIN	Leave empty for now.
   ACCESS_AUD	Leave empty for now.
   ALLOWED_EMAILS	Type your own email address.
   UPDATE_CHECK_REPO	Keep homielab/noteflare.
   Build and deploy commands	Don’t change them.

4. Click Create and deploy and wait a few minutes until it finishes.

5. Open the link Cloudflare shows you. It looks like noteflare.<your-subdomain>.workers.dev.

   The page loads but shows an error. That is correct: NoteFlare stays locked until you finish the next part.

What the two empty fields are for

ACCESS_TEAM_DOMAIN and ACCESS_AUD tell NoteFlare which Cloudflare Access login to trust. They don’t exist yet, so you fill them in during the next part.

What the fields mean

Field	Meaning
D1 database	Where your encrypted notes are stored. Created automatically.
ACCESS_TEAM_DOMAIN	Your Zero Trust team address, such as https://myteam.cloudflareaccess.com.
ACCESS_AUD	The Application Audience (AUD) tag of the Access application that protects NoteFlare.
ALLOWED_EMAILS	An optional second lock: only these emails (or @domain) may use NoteFlare, checked by the app on top of Access. Separate several with commas.
UPDATE_CHECK_REPO	The GitHub repository NoteFlare checks for new releases. Set it to off to disable the check.
