🛋 1. Cloudflare setup — tap-by-tap from couch on iPad
Option A locked. We use ops.hookstreetservices.com instead of ops.hookstreetcapital.com because hookstreetservices.com is already on Cloudflare DNS. That skips the DNS migration step entirely + zero risk to your sam@hookstreetcapital.com email (which stays on Namecheap untouched). End state: private URL gated by Google login — only your email can pass.
📱 Total time: ~30 min on iPad in 3 sittings
1. iPad Safari → dash.cloudflare.com → sign in (you're already logged in per the dashboard screenshot you sent earlier; just verify sam@hookstreetcapital.com is the account).
2. Left sidebar → Workers & Pages → tap "Create application" → tap "Pages" tab → tap "Direct upload".
3. Project name: hookstreet-ops → tap "Create project".
4. Upload box appears. I prep a ZIP of the outputs/ folder + AirDrop or email it to your iPad. You drag the ZIP onto the upload box (or tap "select from files"). ~30 sec to upload.
5. First deployment completes. You see a URL like hookstreet-ops.pages.dev. Don't bookmark that — keep going for the custom domain.
6. Inside the project → tap "Custom domains" tab → "Set up a custom domain" → enter ops.hookstreetservices.com → tap "Continue".
7. Cloudflare auto-creates the CNAME record (since the parent domain hookstreetservices.com is already on Cloudflare DNS). Wait 1-2 minutes — SSL cert provisions automatically.
8. Visit ops.hookstreetservices.com from Safari. WAIT — it loads PUBLICLY right now. That's fine for 5 minutes while we lock it down. Don't share the URL yet.
9. Back to dashboard → left sidebar → Zero Trust → Access → Applications → tap "Add an application" → choose "Self-hosted".
10. Application name: Hook Street Ops · Domain: ops.hookstreetservices.com · Session duration: 24 hours.
11. Identity Providers tab → enable Google. Cloudflare walks you through OAuth setup with Google. Takes ~5 min (you authorize via your Google account).
12. Policies tab → tap "Add a policy" → name: Sam only → Action: Allow → Include → selector: Emails → enter sam@hookstreetcapital.com (and optionally ztreitel@gmail.com as backup) → Save.
13. Test: open ops.hookstreetservices.com in a fresh Safari tab → Cloudflare Access intercepts → asks you to sign in with Google → you sign in as sam@hookstreetcapital.com → site loads. Test once with a different Google account or incognito to verify it BLOCKS others.
14. Bookmark ops.hookstreetservices.com. From iPad Safari: tap Share → Add to Home Screen → name it HS Ops. Now it's a tap on your home screen.
🟢 What you have when this is done
- One URL:
ops.hookstreetservices.com
- Loads every briefing I've ever written, in a searchable index, on iPad / phone / desktop
- Anyone who tries that URL gets blocked unless they're
sam@hookstreetcapital.com (or ztreitel@gmail.com)
- Updates whenever I push new outputs/ files (manual re-upload until we wire Git mode)
- Free forever (Cloudflare Pages + Access both free tier)
🛠 Sam side ask: ping me when each step is done
I'll prep the ZIP of outputs/ as soon as you say "ready" after Step 1. After Step 13 (test passes) I'll switch the project to Git mode (auto-deploy on push to master) so you never have to drag a ZIP again. ~5 min on my side.
