cfddns - CloudFlare Dynamic DNS updater
=======================================

[](#cfddns---cloudflare-dynamic-dns-updater)

A simple dynamic DNS updater for the CloudFlare.com API, written in PHP. Requires PHP 5.5.

### Installing

[](#installing)

Each release of cfddns includes a `cfddns.phar` file containing all files needed to run the tool. You can find a list of releases and the available downloads at

**Download the `cfddns.phar` and put it in a directory in your `$PATH`.**

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

cfddns reads an INI configuration file to make proper API calls against CloudFlare. An annotated template can be found below and at

```
; Your CloudFlare API key
apikey=your_api_key_here

; The email address associated with your CloudFlare account
email=jason@deefour.me

; The full domain you wish to set the A record for.
;
; The TLD should already exist within your cloudflare account. It does not matter
; if an A record for the subdomain already exists
hostname=home.deefour.me
```

### Execution

[](#execution)

The updater is only useful if run regularly. This can be done by creating a cron job for `cfddns`.

```
*\2 * * * * /usr/bin/env php /usr/local/bin/cfddns.phar -c ~/.cfddns

```
