cloudflare-ddns - dynamically update a DNS record
cloudflare-ddns [api_token record_name] [--config file]
cloudflare-ddns is a tool that can be used to dynamically update a DNS record using Cloudflare's API.
This tool is a oneshot program: you run it, it updates the DNS record, and it terminates. To make it run periodically you could use a systemd timer or a cron job.
To run the tool you'll need an API token https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens; cloudflare-ddns only needs the Zone.DNS edit permission.
You can run cloudflare-ddns in two different ways: you can pass the API Token and the record name as command line arguments, or you can use a ini configuration file, located in /etc/cloudflare-ddns/config.ini, by passing no arguments at all. If you prefer, you can even use a configuration file in a custom location, using --config file-path.
