Re-install cloudflared tunnel

I messed up, when my tunnels disappeared today, I tried reinstalling my cloudflare tunnel.
I also accidentally deleted my old tunnel from cloudflare
apt purge cloudflared
then deleted the 3 cloudflared services at /etc/systemd/system

When I run:
sudo cloudflared service install code

It just says:
INF Using Systemd

And nothing more, I let it run several hours. What should I do to install my new tunnel??

The incident is still active: Cloudflare Status - Elevated 5xx HTTP Errors and Availability Issues

We are also working to improve performance to fully restore Warp, Streams, Images, Tunnels.

I believe when it is stuck like that, the service is already installed, just broken. You could check via sudo systemctl status cloudflared. (assuming using an os which uses systemd)

If so, wait until the incident is over, and then try restarting the service (sudo systemctl restart cloudflared). Otherwise, you may need to install the tunnel again.

I would continue watching that incident status page. From what others have reported and I have seen, existing tunnels seem to be mostly working now, just any new tunnels fail.

I just got home from work, nothing changed no progress.

if i start or restart the service it gets stuck infinitely.

So when I try to install my tunnel, when it hangs indefinitely it does actually install the 3 cloudflared services in /etc/systemd/system. But can’t start

What do you see in the service logs? i.e journalctl -u cloudflared -f --lines=100 (if using systemd)

I do not know that ip address

That’s Cloudflare’s edge IP, normal to see.
It looks like your tunnel never got properly created, or you rotated the secret. It would probably be simplest to just uninstall the service (sudo cloudflared service uninstall), delete the tunnel, recreate it, and try to reinstall

Deleted the service files, deleted my tunnel, started a new one.
Tried installing it, it still gets stuck.

Anybody? Is cloudflare still working on it??

Since 4 or 5 days I have a similar problem on mobile with warp tunnel on 1.1.1.1 application.

I can create a new tunnel without any issue.
If you’re still getting that error, is it possible you didn’t reload systemctl (systemctl daemon-reload) when you deleted the service files, or somehow are trying to use the old tunnel still? That error sounds like that tunnel doesn’t exist at all. If you manually delete the service files, reload systemctl, and then grab the install command from the tunnel you created, it shouldn’t have any issues.

Last night i did that but it was still stuck.

Great news, it works now!
Thanks
