Installation

While this project is intended to be ran as a Docker container, it can also be ran on the host directly.

Using a Pre-built Container

This project is available on the GitHub Container Registry.

docker pull ghcr.io/akarys42/cloudflare-ddns-docker

Building the Container Yourself

There are no special requirements when building this container! Simply use docker build in this folder.

Running on the Host

In order to run this project on the host, you'll need Python > 3.8, and an environment containing the dependencies listed in requirements.txt.

The project can then by launched by running the cloudflare_ddns module, usually using python -m cloudflare_ddns.

Configuration

This project will accept parameters through environment variables or command line argument. Feel free to select the method fitting your setup the best!

Getting a Cloudflare Token

The first step will be to create a user API token with the following scopes:

• Zone:Read
• DNS:Edit

Supported Options

We currently support following settings:

The domains to update will have to either be passed as command line arguments after the options or with a space separated CF_DDNS_DOMAINS environment variable.

Each domain can be preceded by the record type, either A or AAAA, followed by a colon. Otherwise any found A or AAAA record pointing to this domain found will be used.
