Create a new Template

Edit Yaml:

I am using one of my APPs , WebSSH docker image, as an example:

Change Image Name (found from hub.docker.com’s image repository )  and default container port number:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: new
  labels:
    app: webssh
spec:
  strategy:
    type: RollingUpdate
    rollingUpdate:
      maxSurge: 1
      maxUnavailable: 1
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: webssh
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: webssh
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: api
          image: jakewalker/webssh
          imagePullPolicy: Always
          ports:
            - name: http-ports
              containerPort: 8888

Launch APP from Template and Configure Network

Configure Cloudflare Workers 

Create a workers with following script:

addEventListener(
  "fetch",event => {
     let url=new URL(event.request.url);
     url.hostname="webssh.51sec.usw1.kubesail.org";
     let request=new Request(url,event.request);
     event. respondWith(
       fetch(request)
     )
  }
)

I tested two docker images: WebSSH and Ghost. Both worked well. Especially Ghost blog , it is running on http://ghost.51sec.org with admin page at http://ghost.51sec.org/ghost.
