Quick Setup:
docker run \
-e API_TOKEN=xxxxxxx \
-e ZONE=example.com \
-e ZONE_ID=xxxxxxx \
-e SUBDOMAIN=subdomain \
oznu/cloudflare-ddnsThis image will also run on a Raspberry Pi or other ARM based boards that support Docker using the armhf or aarch64 tags:
docker run \
-e API_TOKEN=xxxxxxx \
-e ZONE=example.com \
-e ZONE_ID=xxxxxxx \
-e SUBDOMAIN=subdomain \
oznu/cloudflare-ddns:armhf--restart=always- ensure the container restarts automatically after host reboot.-e API_TOKEN- Your CloudFlare API Token. Get it here: https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens. Required-e ZONE- The DNS zone that DDNS updates should be applied to. Required-e ZONE_ID- The DNS zone ID that matches the provided ZONE. Required-e SUBDOMAIN- A subdomain of theZONEto write DNS changes to. If this is not supplied the root zone will be used.-e PROXIED- Set totrueto make traffic go through the CloudFlare CDN. Defaults tofalse.-e RRTYPE=A- Set toAAAAto use set IPv6 records instead of IPv4 records. Defaults toAfor IPv4 records.-e DELETE_ON_STOP- Set totrueto have the dns record deleted when the container is stopped. Defaults tofalse.
If you need multiple records pointing to your public IP address you can create CNAME records in CloudFlare.
If you're wanting to set IPv6 records set the envrionment variable RRTYPE=AAAA. You will also need to run docker with IPv6 support, or run the container with host networking enabled.
If you prefer to use Docker Compose:
