## cloudflare_dyn_dns.sh
#!/bin/sh
#
# CloudFlare Dynamic DNS
#
# Updates CloudFlare records with the current public IP address
#
# Takes the same basic arguments as A/CNAME updates in the CloudFlare v4 API
# https://www.cloudflare.com/docs/client-api.html#s5.2
#
# Use with cron jobs etc.
#
# e.g.
#
# manually run:
# cloudflare_dyn_dns.sh -key 404613183ab3971a2118ae5bf03d63e032f9e -email test@example.com -zone example.com -name extra
#
# cronjob entry to run every 5 minutes:
# */5 * * * * /path/to/cloudflare_dyn_dns.sh -key 404613183ab3971a2118ae5bf03d63e032f9e -email test@example.com -zone example.com -name extra >> /path/to/cloudflare_dyn_dns.log
#
# will both set the type A DNS record for extra.example.com to the current public IP address for user test@example.com with the provided API key
