Do you want to host a website at home, or run your own personal cloud with Nextcloud? Chances are, you have a dynamic IP address assigned from your ISP. A common issue with running services at home is having to frequently update your DNS records whenever your IP address changes, luckily with Dynamic DNS (DDNS) this can be automated. Cloudflare offers a powerful API that allows us to automate various tasks such as updating what IP address our DNS records point to, a github user has written a shell script that lets us take advantage of Cloudflare’s API without having to write any code!
