Simple golang tool to automatically update DNS records for a server.
AutoDNS is built into a single binary. You can build this yourself with Golang tooling or download a prebuilt release from the Releases page.
Nightly builds are also available as artifacts on the Actions page.
AutoDNS is designed to be used in automated environments such as inside cron. As such, everything is ran using a CLI.
Available Commands:
cf Use CloudFlare DNS provider
completion Generate completion script
help Help about any command
upgrade Upgrade AutoDNS to the latest version
version Print version information
Flags:
-h, --help help for autodns
-v, --verbose count verbose output
-V, --version print version
Use "autodns [command] --help" for more information about a command.
Additionally, you can instead pass the API tokens using the AUTODNS_{provider}_TOKEN environment variables. Note that tokens passed using CLI flags take priority over environment variables. See below for a complete list.
This example assumes you have installed AutoDNS into your PATH.
# Run AutoDNS every hour and discard output
0 * * * * autodns cf --token notarealtoken --record server.jackbaron.dev > /dev/null 2>&1
These are all the DNS providers currently supported by AutoDNS. If you would like to see another added, submit an issue. Instead if you're feeling generous, shoot me a PR to add a provider and I'll be eternally grateful 😄
| Provider | Subcommand | Environment Variable |
