A script to update a selection of DNS zone records at CloudFlare. Intended to be used when failing over to another datacenter where multiple services are hosted on 1 IP address and no other changes to these records are wanted and all other records are to remain untouched.
This work is based on thatjpk/cloudflare-ddns. Thanks !
You'll need a python interpreter and the following libraries:
First copy config.yaml.template file to config.yaml and fill in your
CloudFlare email address and API key. Then run the script as follows :
cloudflare-change-datacenter-dns.py [-h] [--debug] [--config CONFIG] [--zone ZONE] [--records RECORDS] [--newip NEWIP]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--debug Enable debug level logging (default: info level)
--config CONFIG Yaml config file (default: config.yaml)
--zone ZONE DNS zone (example: somezone.org)
--records RECORDS DNS zone records to change (example: www03,somezone.org,acceptance)
--newip NEWIP New IP address (example: 127.0.0.1)
Here is an example run where video was already set to the new intended IP address but dev not yet. The script skips all other records it finds in the zone :
./cloudflare-change-datacenter-dns.py --zone somedomain.org --records video,dev --newip 127.0.0.1
