# 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
auth_token="<auth-token-here>"
zone_name="domain.com"
record_name="home.domain.com"

# Don't touch these
ip=$(curl -s http://ipv4.icanhazip.com)
ip_file="ip.txt"
id_file="cloudflare.ids"
log_file="cloudflare.log"

# Keep files in the same folder when run from cron
current="$(pwd)"
cd "$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")"

Hey awesome! The Docker container still works well for me 😀

Does anyone have a good way to implement logrotate in this script so the log file doesn't just keep growing forever?
