*Note: no trailing slashes or directories.

FAQ

How to use the mobile app when your Hudu instance is self-hosted behind CloudFlare?

Answer: If hosting your Hudu instance behind CloudFlare causes the mobile app to return a "Session expired" error on sign-in, you must add the endpoints of the mobile app as new applications in CloudFlare to bypass auth.
The endpoints you must add as application paths are yourhuduinstance.com/jwt/refresh and yourhuduinstance.com/external_apps/*. After adding the new applications, the mobile app should allow sign-on.
