ddns-cloudflare v1.1.2

Cloudflare DDNS

This module updates a CloudFlare host's AAAA records with the current machine's IPv6 addresses

Configuration

Configuration File

Create a .json file in the following format

{
	"interface": "", 
	"email": "", 
	"key": "", 
	"zone": "", 
	"name": ""
}

Configuring execution on address change

Leveraging systemd instantiated services

1. Create a new service file at /etc/systemd/system/ddns-cloudflare@.service with the following contents:

   [Unit]
   Description=Update CloudFlare with latest IP addresses from %I
   BindsTo=sys-subsystem-net-devices-%i.device
   After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-%i.device
   Wants=network-online.target
   After=network-online.target
   
   [Service]
   Type=oneshot
   RemainAfterExit=yes
   ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/ddns-cloudflare -c /path/to/config.json -i %I
   
   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target

2. Start the servie sudo systemctl start ddns-cloudflare@enp2s0

3. Enable the service sudo systemctl enable ddns-cloudflare@enp2s0

Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each additional network interface replacing enp2s0 with the desired interfaces.

Additional information is availble on this blog post about instantiated services and this StackExchange question on detecting IP address changes.

Usage

To test or to update just once simply call ddns-cloudflare providing the config file

ddns-cloudflare -c /path/to/config.json
