Cloudflare as Dynamic DNS (revised)

# Cloudflare as Dynamic DNS
# From: https://letswp.io/cloudflare-as-dynamic-dns-raspberry-pi/
# Based on: https://gist.github.com/benkulbertis/fff10759c2391b6618dd/
# Original non-RPi article: https://phillymesh.net/2016/02/23/setting-up-dynamic-dns-for-your-registered-domain-through-cloudflare/
# Fixed and documented version by Christian Gambardella (https://gambo.io)
# 1. Create a cloudflare account
# 2. Create a zone and a record with any ip address.
# It will be updated by the script.
# Just put 127.0.0.1 or so.
# 3. Create a token with those permissions:
# zone / zone / read
# zone / DNS / edit
# limit to all zones from your account or all zones. specific zones are not enough.
# 4. Update this script to include your zone name, record name and auth token.
# 5. Put it somewhere
# 6. Install a cronjob using `crontab -e`
# 7. Add line to update every 10 minutes: `*/10 * * * * /home/pi/cron/lwp-cloudflare-dyndns.sh`
# Update these with real values

I've now switched to using this docker container:

version: "3"
services:
  cloudflare-ddns:
    image: oznu/cloudflare-ddns:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - API_KEY=<cloudflare-api-key>
      - ZONE=example.com
      - SUBDOMAIN=subdomain
      - PROXIED=true
