This will allow you to use CloudFlare as DDNS allowing you to access a server at your home even if you have a dynamic IP address (like most people).
Please note: While this was tested as much as possible, I was not able to fully test it. This is due to me moving houses and the new house having a static IP address with ISP managed internet facing equipment.
The configuration file looks like this:
/* eslint-disable */
var config = {
"APIURL": "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/", // API URL
"zone": "c51a--ZONE ID--675259", // Your ZONE ID
"APIKey": "70--API KEY--629a8fe", // API key
"email": "n--ACCOUNT EMAIL-.com", // Account email
"name": "ddns.website.com", // Domain to update
"ttl": 120, // TTL
"proxied": true, // Proxied or not (orange cloud: true, grey cloud: false)
"updateInterval": 900000 // The time (in ms) between sending an update request
};
module.exports = config;
It should be easy enough to understand; just paste the zone ID and API key where it should be and set everything else.
All you need to do is to run the index.js file with Node.js. You can run this with PM2 so it runs in the background and restarts if it crashes.
