Installation:

Make a new directory, for example:

mkdir easycloudflareddns

Enter that directory

cd easycloudflareddns

Run the installer script:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ted-Barrett/easycloudflareddns/main/install.sh | bash

Running the program

From within the folder you created:

./RunEasyCloudflareDDNS.sh

You will likely want to set up a cron entry to automatically run the script:

*/15 * * * * cd <YOUR FOLDER YOU CREATED GOES HERE> && ./RunEasyCloudflareDDNS.sh

For example:

*/15 * * * * cd ~/easycloudflareddns && ./RunEasyCloudflareDDNS.sh

TODO

• Update installer script to automatically setup cron
• Implement more secure access rights, for example with a dedicated user to access the install folder, so that a user who gains access to the system running the script can't steal your API key.
• Allow multiple zones to be modified (not sure if I will implement this, as you could also just provide two config files and pass them as arguments to the program separately.)
• Add screenshots to readme or somewhere else which show how to get the API key. This program is meant to be as beginner friendly as possible, so I think clear steps for every step of the way are essential.
