Netlify Dynamic DNS
#!/bin/bash
#
# This is a Bash script to update a Netlify subdomain A record with the current external IP.
#
# Repo: https://github.com/skylerwlewis/netlify-ddns
# Gist: https://gist.github.com/skylerwlewis/ba052db5fe26424255674931d43fc030
#
# Usage:
# netlify-ddns.sh <ACCESS_TOKEN> <DOMAIN> <SUBDOMAIN> <TTL> [<CACHED_IP_FILE>]
#
# The example below would update the local.example.com A record to the current external IP with a TTL of 5 minutes.
# The last parameter for the script is optional and is used to cache the Netlify IP to reduce API calls.
#
# Example:
# netlify-ddns.sh aCcEsStOKeN example.com local 300 /home/johnsmith/cached-ip-file.txt
