Dynamic DNS Updater

This project reads a public IP address from a UniFi controller and then updates the apex A records for a list of zones in CloudFlare DNS.

Assumptions

  • UniFi Controller

    • Default site

  • CloudFlare DNS

  • Runs in a Docker container. Configuration located at /secrets/config.json

Configuration

{
  "unifi_creds": {
    "username": "username",
    "password": "password"
  },
  "disable_unifi_tls_validation": true,
  "unifi_url": "https://unifi-controller.url:8443",
  "cftoken": "cloudflare api token here",
  "watch_records": ["example.com", "example.net"],
  "poll_seconds": 600
}
Caution
 The disable_unifi_tls_validation option disables all TLS validation for the calls to the UniFI controller. It exists because UniFi by default uses a self-signed certificate. A better option is to supply a valid certificate to the UniFi controller and not disable TLS. This option does not disable TLS validation for calls to CloudFlare.
