python-ddns 1.0

A DDNS client written in python that updates the A record on Cloudflare with the current IP of this device.

Python-DDNS

This is program written in python that acts as a DDNS client, currently just for Cloudflare.
Works on python3 and up.

I plan on making it a ppa to have it easier to update.

Python Install

There is a package available on pypi if you would rather install it that way.

# Edit crontab to run script
crontab -e

TODO

• Easier config editing
• Better service functionality
• Other DNS systems supported
