Quick and dirty DDNS using Bash and Cloudflare (API v4 compatible)
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Step 1: Fill in EMAIL, TOKEN, DOMAIN and SUBDOMAIN. Your API token is here: https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens
# Make sure the token is the Global token, or has these permissions: #zone:read, #dns_record:read, #dns_records:edit
# If you want to set the root domain instead of a subdomain, set SUBDOMAIN to "@"
# Step 2: Create an A record on Cloudflare with the subdomain you chose
# Step 3: Run "./ddns.sh -l" to get the zone_id and rec_id of the record you created.
# Fill in ZONE_ID and REC_ID below
# This step is optional, but will save you 2 requests every time you run this script
# Step 4: Run "./ddns.sh". It should tell you that record was updated or that it didn't need updating.
# Step 5: Run it every hour with cron. Use the '-s' flag to silence normal output
# 0 * * * * /path/to/ddns.sh -s

@ImmortalScientist @Agazed - I just updated the script to support root domains. Set SUBDOMAIN to @ and give it a try. Let me know if that doesn't work for you.

Hi, i'm trying to get it working with monit but unfortunatelly looks like monit doesn't run the script btw when i run it myself everything works.
Do you have any idea ?

Perhaps there is my command on monit

check host xxxxxx with address xxxxxx
  if failed ping4 then exec "/bin/bash -c /etc/monit/SecondaryIP.sh"
  else if succeeded then exec "/bin/bash -c /etc/monit/NativeIP.sh"
