I just want a CDN for my website

[mint mango]

I can't figure out how to upload files for public consumption on Cloudflare. R2 buckets are private and I don't see a CDN configuration. Help?

The production ready way is attaching a custom domain to your bucket under Settings -> Custom Domains: https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/buckets/public-buckets/#custom-domains

Settings -> Custom Domains while inside of the bucket, that is. Worth noting it'll take over the entire hostname as well, so use a subdomain like r2.example.com or something

Thanks but it's requiring a Cloudflare domain which of course I don't have - I host my domains elsewhere like everyone else

For cloudflare to require my domain to be hosted by them is completely unreasonable

[neat galleon]

It just requires a domain to be added in Cloudflare and use CF DNS, don't have to use proxy services, nor CF's hosting services, or registrar, etc, could just get a cheap domain like <normalwebsitename>cdn.com as well

Your other options are the public r2.dev subdomain but it's not production ready / has rate limits or the S3 API w/ presigned URLs

Thanks for your help but it sounds like CF just isn't for me. I'm not buying a domain or hosting it on CF just to post some images for my website, that's ridiculous

I'll stick with google cloud I guess

if you want to host a website you'll have to own a domain.. 🤔

unless you use cf pages and just use the url to your project

would love to see where Google cloud is handing out free domains :p
