The intention of this container is that it's a tool container so let him a tool container. For this we create an alias to have an normal feeling that this is a "tool" and not a container :)

For a temporay state use the following command

alias flarectl='docker run -it --rm --env-file $HOME/.cloudflare/env solidnerd/cloudflare'

Alias for Bash

This make it's persistent in your BASH Shell.

echo "alias flarectl='docker run -it --rm --env-file $HOME/.cloudflare/env solidnerd/cloudflare'" >> $HOME/.bashrc

Alias for Zsh

This make it's persistent in your ZSH Shell.

echo "alias flarectl='docker run -it --rm --env-file $HOME/.cloudflare/env solidnerd/cloudflare'" >> $HOME/.zshrc

Usage of flarectl

Create DNS Record

flarectl d c --zone example.com --name test.example.com --type CNAME --content example.com
