## Deployment

```shell
sb install ddclient
```

## Basics

DDClient is automatically configured for Cloudflare with common Saltbox subdomains. Configuration file is created at `/opt/ddclient/ddclient.conf` - edit this file to customize subdomains.

Requires Cloudflare to be enabled in your Saltbox configuration with valid API credentials in `accounts.yml`.
