Running multiple Cloudflare Tunnel services

This is a simple guide to setting up multiple cloudflared services (via systemctl). Useful if you have to run tunnels authenticated by different accounts and want to let each account handle their tunneling configurations via the Dashboard/UI.

1. (optional, so its easy to clone the service definition file) Setup your first tunnel using the standard sudo cloudflared service install <token> command
2. cd into the folder containing the cloudflared.service definition (usually /etc/systemd/system or /usr/lib/systemd/system
3. Duplicate the existing cloudflared.service into another file with a unique name e.g. sudo cp cloudflared.service cloudflared-b.service
4. Open up your new service cloudflared-b.service in your favorite text editor
5. Change the token within the ExecStart= line to match your second tunnel
6. Change the service Description= to match your service filename
