Cloudflare Updater

Python script to update Cloudflare DNS records when a server's IP address changes

Installation:

git clone https://github.com/jcharman/Cloudflare-Updater
cd Cloudflare-Updater
chmod +x ./updateCloudflare.py

Install the required modules

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Copy the example config file into place:

Usage

This script is designed to be run by cron periodically. On each run it will get the server's current IP, check it against the IP last time the script ran and update Cloudflare if necessary. If the script has not been run before it will get the current IP address from Cloudflare.

NOTE: This script WILL NOT detect manual changes to cloudflare and will only update the IP when it detects that the server's IP address has changed. To force the script to check the current IP in Cloudflare, delete the updateCloudflare.lastip file.
