Use CloudFlare dynamic domain name under Ubuntu

Demand First make sure you have an own domain name, then log in to CloudFlare and add your domain name. Follow the instructions and use the default values given by it. You will have cloudflare to host your domain, so you need to adjust your registration authority settings. If you want to use a subdomain, add a ' a ' record to it. Currently, any IP address is available. Ddclient is a Perl client that updates dynamic DNS entries under the Dynamic DNS Network service provider account. It was originally written by Paul Bally and is now mostly done by Vimpanko. It can do more than just dynamic DNS, but it can also get your WAN port IP address in several different ways. One feature of CloudFlare is that it allows you to update your DNS records via API or command line scripts called Ddclient. Either way, the results are the same, and it's a freeware. Unfortunately, Ddclient is not ready to use in CloudFlare. It needs to be patched, and here's how to hack it on Debian or Ubuntu, and it can work on a raspbian with Raspberry Pi. Install Ddclient on Ubuntu Open the terminal and run the following command sudo apt-get install ddclient Now you need to use the following command to install the patch sudo apt-get install curl sendmail Libjson-any-perl Libio-socket-ssl-perlcurl-o http://blog.peter-r.co.uk/uploads/ Ddclient-3.8.0-cloudflare-22-6-2014.patchsudo Patch/usr/sbin/ddclient < Ddclient-3.8.0-cloudflare-22-6-2014.patch The above command is used to complete ddclient installation and patching Configure Ddclient You need to use the following command to edit the ddclient.conf file sudo vi/etc/ddclient.conf Add the following information ##### CloudFlare (cloudflare.com) # # #ssl =yesuse=web, Web=dyndnsprotocol=cloudflare, server=www.cloudflare.com, zone= domain.com, [email protected], Password=api-key host.domain.com Comment out: #daemon =300 Your api-key can be found from the CloudFlare Account page, Ssl=yes may have been set, Use=web, web=dyndns means using DynDNS to determine IP (for NAT). You've done it. Log in to https://www.cloudflare.com and check to see if the IP address listed for your domain name matches the http://checkip.dyndns.com listed. Use the following command to verify your settings sudo ddclient-daemon=0-debug-verbose-noquiet
