Quick Guide: Cloudflare Tunnels
Creating Cloudflare Tunnels.
Once it provides me with the connector code that I need to execute in a terminal, I have found that these are assigned random names, but with the help of ChatGPT you can add a couple of additions to name them.

Which, with a couple of modifications, will then look like:
sudo docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --name tunnel_name cloudflare/cloudflared:latest tunnel --no-autoupdate run --token .. .. ..
The differences are:
-d: Runs the container in detached mode (in the background)
--restart unless-stopped: Is a "Restart Policy" which ensures that the Tunnel/Container will run unless you manually stop it.
--name tunnel_name: Gives your container the name "tunnel_name"
