I had set this up once many years ago but no longer have any idea how I did it. Did you search the forums? There may still be a post about it somewhere.

I think custom server configs support are not done by staff. I could be mistaken in thinking that if Cloudflare is an nginx reverse proxy that works fine with the server (no configs needed on server) then it should work the same way an nginx server in front of apache. Sentora communicated using apache, and nginx communicates with apache to forward data? Am I right?

otherwise you should look into CentOS web panel. It has built in reverse proxy on config and multi-php version setup.

CentoOS Web Panel, No way Sentora for life. Have been with it since Z-panel and have had very little issues in 7 or 8 years. There must be some Sentora Guru (Team Member) out there that can help me with the answer to the question above. I've only been waiting for that Guru to answer me for 2 years..
Someone around here must know how to do it. I give virtual Chocolates!

RE: Sentora & Apache behind Nginx Reverse Proxy
i just built a test server and i was testing this out now I'm not 100% sure what your trying.
But what i did is i went in changed Apache module port to 8080 did  the same with Sentora port 8080
Did Apache restart
made sure my virtual hosts were 8080
i than installed nginx
and added to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
Code:
gzip on;
    gzip_disable "msie6";

     gzip_vary on;
     gzip_proxied any;
     gzip_comp_level 6;
     gzip_buffers 16 8k;
     gzip_http_version 1.1;
     gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
# Proxy Cache Settings
       proxy_cache_path /var/cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=reverse_cache:60m inactive=90m max_size=1000m;
    
    server {
           listen 80 default_server;
                   location / {
                           proxy_set_header Host $host;
                           proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
                       }
                       location ~ /\.ht {
                               deny all;
                       }
                  }
Than started nginx server

service nginx start

service nginx restart

service nginx stop

if this helps out any but it has worked for me

heres full conf
PHP Code:

#    }

#    server {

#        protocol   imap;
#        proxy      on;
#    }
#} 
Running two servers this can be multiplied also

PHP Code:
server {
 
           listen 80 default_server;
 
           listen 443 ssl;
 
                              location / {
 
                           proxy_set_header Host $host;
 
                           proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
 
                                              }
 
                       location ~ /\.ht {
 
                               deny all;
 
                       }
 
                  }
 
                  
                   server 
{
 
   listen 80;
 
   listen 443 ssl;
 
   server_name whatever.com;
 
   proxy_set_header Host $host;
 
   location / {
 
       proxy_pass http://127.0.01:8181;
 
        }
 
                       location ~ /\.ht {
 
                               deny all;
 
   }

Easy come Easy go
