cfdyndns-updater

A script to keep the values in the Cloudflare DDNS service in sync with your local dynamic IP address. It starts an infinite loop that periodically performs checks, using an external service, whether your IP address has changed or not. If it is so, the script sends a request to Cloudflare API and updates the DNS records.

Requirements

• Python 3.6+

How to use the script

1. Write a configuration file in the following format:

   email: <your login to Cloudflare>
   api_key: <Cloudflare API key>
   periodicity: <timeout between checks in seconds>
   domains:
     - example.org    # 'proxied: true' is implied
     - www.example.org
     - domain: ssh.example.org
       proxied: false
     <...>
   

   You may place it into your home directory under the name of .cloudflare-ddns-config. On Linux, a system-wide configuration file is also supported: /etc/cloudflare-ddns-config.

2. Install the package:

   pip install cfdyndns-updater
   

3. Run the script!

   cfddns_updater
   

   It's possible to specify the path to any configuration file explicitly as the only positional argument:

   cfddns_updater config.yml
   

Exit codes

Integration with a system manager

See Wiki pages for examples of configuration files for various system managers. If your favorite one is missing there, write your own configuration file for it and create a pull request. Any contributions are welcomed!
