docker-cloudflare-ddns VS cloudflare-ddns-updater

https://github.com/oznu/docker-cloudflare-ddns has been archived and perhaps one should avoid it. You will not receive any updates in the future.

That container was last built Mar 21 2020. Looks like this is the source code.

I've seen the cloudflare-ddns solutions on github here and here but it doesn't look like it'd work for my intended use case. Do you know any software that can be selfhosted that allows for that?

Something like CloudFlare ddns docker container will check your external IP every minute or so and automatically update if required

I hate noip. They spam my email and I have to remember to confirm my domain every month or it gets deleted. I just switched to this with cloudflare and its so much better.

Cloudflare DDNS

I've used this in the past: https://hub.docker.com/r/oznu/cloudflare-ddns/

Cloudflare is a nice option.

I don't want to face difficulties if my ISP changes my IP address for whatever reason. So I'm planning to get something like this or this set up. I want to make sure I have my 'A' records set up correctly first.

Second this. I run this script with a cron job to update my Cloudflare as well and never had any problems with it.

I just use this script running on a VM to keep CloudFlare pointed to my public IP. Couldn’t figure out a way to get the UDMP to do it natively.

Well originally my plan, which I glossed over in my previous message, was to set my domain 'ABC' to point to my home IP, with a few CName, A or AAA records pointed to specific devices I wanted to access externally from my house (PC's I can RDP into for example), and I wanted to set up a subdomain (which I think would be an A and/or AAA record) which pointed to my Wix site so the only domain for it would be something like 'Wix.ABC.com', but it's looking like that won't be possible. I know Wix has options to set up A, AAA and Cname records on domains connected to a Wix website but as far as I'm aware they don't have an API for users to update them and I've never seen an 'app' to dynamically update them like the Cloudflare DDNs script. If I end up just buying a new domain for my Wix site then I guess making a subdomain from the ABC domain link to it wouldn't be much use.

If you want an easy Cloudflare DDNS script https://github.com/K0p1-Git/cloudflare-ddns-updater Unless you have an allocated DNS server already

Cloudflare API and this script on a nightly cron.

My only thoughts would be to purchase a domain from somewhere like GoDaddy and move the DNS nameservers for the domain over to a free Cloudflare account. Then use a script with the Cloudflare API to update your DNS entries to point to your NGINX host.

Here's the script I am using Cloudflare DDNS Updater

I never seemed to be able to get ddclient to work with cloudflare. I’d vouch for K0p1’s Cloudflare ddns script. It’s been working great for me
