Doesn't Update Cloudflare dns

[gt2416]

When caddy first starts, it updates the dns ONLY if all the zones have different IP's to the current IP. If say I change an IP of 1 zone in cloudflare dashboard it does not update it. Also I kept my check interval at 1m, I can see in the logs it does try to check my current IP but never updates it UNLESS I restart caddy. Then it updates it ONCE and never again. So I have to keep restarting caddy when my ip changes. This is my caddy file

dynamic_dns {
                provider cloudflare {API KEY}
                domains {
                        mydomain.com @ test test1 test2
                }
                check_interval 1m
                ip_source simple_http https://icanhazip.com
                }
}

test.mydomain.com {

I think you probably just don't have an IPv6-enabled network?

[gt2416]

Nope don’t have ipv6. It’s a business environment, I’m not sure if that’s something I want to enable. Anyway I can use ipv4? Also when I first start caddy I get the same error but it does update my dns. It’s just the checking after that.

[mholt]

Yeah, you can use IPv4. This plugin tries both and not having an interface isn't a problem.

Updates only happen if your IP address changes.

[gt2416]

Ah ok. So changing the ip on the cloudflare dashboard to check won’t trigger it right ? That’s how I was testing it.

[mholt]

Right, otherwise we'd have to do DNS lookups, and those are relative anyway. This plugin just checks your own IP address, and if that changes, then it updates the record. I don't know why you would change the record yourself when the plugin is managing that for you anyways. :thinking:

[gt2416]

Literally just to test it. It’s a business environment so I needed to make sure it works, and my IP changes every few days or once a week, didn’t want to wait lol.
