A cloudflared Docker Compose token, specifically an `arctoken` or `TUNNEL_TOKEN`, is used to authenticate your cloudflared instance running within a Docker container to your Cloudflare Zero Trust dashboard. This allows the cloudflared daemon to establish and manage tunnels to your Cloudflare Tunnel service, enabling secure access to your internal resources.
