#requires -Version 3.0 -Modules DnsClient <# .SYNOPSIS Update CloudFlare DNS A Record if needed .DESCRIPTION Update CloudFlare DNS A Record if needed The prevent to much API calls, we use a regular DNS query first. Only if this query spot a difference, we ensure if an update is needed by ask the Cloudflare API for the latest published info. If there is stiff a difference, the cmdlet will update the entry for you. If you use a new/unknown hostname in the CF_HOSTNAME parameter, the cmdlet will create a new entry for the given host! .PARAMETER CF_TOKEN CloudFlare API Token Hint: You can find your API key at: https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens Create a dedicated Token just for this cmdlet and give it a name that indicate the purpose of it The Token needs a least the following permission: Zone.Zone, Zone.DNS The token needs access to at least the Zone you want to update (Resources), or use 'All zones' .PARAMETER CF_DOMAIN The CloudFlare DNS zone you want to modify Example: contoso.com (this is also the default) .PARAMETER CF_HOSTNAME This is the A record you'd like to update or add Example: homelab (this is also the default) Please Note: We support A Records only at this time! .PARAMETER DNSServer Resolves hostname using DNS instead of checking CloudFlare. It is recommended to use the CloudFlare DNS Servers, e.g. 1.1.1.1 You can use any other server, but mind that you might not see the changed IP until the Cache TTL expired on this Server! .EXAMPLE PS C:\> .\Invoke-CloudFlareDDNSUpdate.ps1 -CF_TOKEN '' -CF_DOMAIN 'contoso.com' -CF_HOSTNAME 'homelab' Check and updates the host 'homelab' in the DNS Zone 'contoso.com' .EXAMPLE PS C:\> .\Invoke-CloudFlareDDNSUpdate.ps1 -CF_TOKEN '' -CF_DOMAIN 'contoso.com' -CF_HOSTNAME 'homelab' -Verbose Check and updates the host 'homelab' in the DNS Zone 'contoso.com', but run in verbose mode .EXAMPLE PS C:\> .\Invoke-CloudFlareDDNSUpdate.ps1 -CF_TOKEN '' -CF_DOMAIN 'contoso.com' -CF_HOSTNAME 'homelab' -DNSServer 1.0.0.1 Check and updates the host 'homelab' in the DNS Zone 'contoso.com', uses the backup CloudFlare DNS to get the published info .LINK https://1.1.1.1/dns/ .NOTES We use a regular (cheap) DNS call to reduce the number of calls to CloudFlare (they allow 200 reqs/minute but why ask an API first?) There is no output by the cmdlet, makes it easier if run a a service or schedules task. use the -Verbose switch to see what the cmdlet is doing Please Note: We support A Records only at this time! We are already testing IPv6 (AAAA) and a few others. #> [CmdletBinding(ConfirmImpact = 'None')] param ( [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [Alias('CLOUDFLARE_TOKEN', 'CFAPIKey', 'Token')] [string] $CF_TOKEN = '', [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [Alias('CLOUDFLARE_Domain', 'CLOUDFLARE_DomainName', 'CFDomainName', 'Zone')] [string] $CF_DOMAIN = 'contoso.com', [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [Alias('CFARecord', 'CLOUDFLARE_HOST', 'CLOUDFLARE_HOSTNAME')] [string] $CF_HOSTNAME = 'homelab', [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [Alias('DNSToUse')] [string] $DNSServer = '1.1.1.1' ) begin { #region Cleanup $CF_KnownIP = $null $CF_ExternalIP = $null #endregion Cleanup #region CheapRequests if (Get-Command -Name Resolve-DnsName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) { # Get the A record from the CloudFlare DNS (cheap request) $paramResolveDnsName = @{ Name = ($CF_HOSTNAME + '.' + $CF_DOMAIN) Type = 'A' Server = $DNSServer ErrorAction = 'SilentlyContinue' WarningAction = 'Continue' } [string]$CF_KnownIP = (((Resolve-DnsName @paramResolveDnsName) | Select-Object -ExpandProperty IPAddress).Trim()) } elseif (Get-Command -Name dig -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) { # This is the Fallback on macOS, due to the missing DnsClient module on PowerShell core here [string]$CF_KnownIP = (((dig A ($CF_HOSTNAME + '.' + $CF_DOMAIN) ('@' + $DNSServer) +short)).Trim()) } else { Write-Warning -Message 'Unable to lookup the DNS entry, we try to use the CloudFlare API' -WarningAction Continue # Set a dummy (to prevent any null pointer exception during the compare) [string]$CF_KnownIP = '0.0.0.0' } # Get the external IP via Web Request from our own service (cheap request) $paramInvokeRestMethod = @{ Method = 'Get' UseBasicParsing = $true Uri = 'https://ip.enatec.net' ErrorAction = 'Stop' WarningAction = 'Continue' } [string]$CF_ExternalIP = ((Invoke-RestMethod @paramInvokeRestMethod).Trim()) #endregion CheapRequests } process { # Compare the two values if ($CF_ExternalIP -ne $CF_KnownIP) { # Looks like there is a Difference # Only the V4 API is supported by the cmdlet yet! $CF_API_ENDPOINT = $null $CF_API_ENDPOINT = 'https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4' $CF_Headers = $null $CF_Headers = @{ 'Authorization' = ('Bearer ' + $CF_TOKEN) 'Content-Type' = 'application/json' } $CF_ZoneURI = $null $CF_ZoneURI = ($CF_API_ENDPOINT + '/zones?name=' + $CF_DOMAIN) Write-Verbose -Message ('Getting DNS-Zone ID for ' + $($CF_DOMAIN) + ' via ' + $CF_ZoneURI) # Let us get the Zone Info directly from CloudFlare (API Request) $CF_ZoneId = $null $paramInvokeRestMethod = @{ Uri = $CF_ZoneURI ContentType = 'application/json' Headers = $CF_Headers ErrorAction = 'Stop' WarningAction = 'Continue' } $CF_ZoneId = (((Invoke-RestMethod @paramInvokeRestMethod).result).id) $CF_DNSURI = $null $CF_DNSURI = ($CF_API_ENDPOINT + '/zones/' + $CF_ZoneId + '/dns_records?type=A&name=' + $CF_HOSTNAME + '.' + $CF_DOMAIN) Write-Verbose -Message ('Getting DNS data for ' + $($CF_HOSTNAME).$($CF_DOMAIN) + ' via ' + $CF_DNSURI) # Let us get the host Info directly from CloudFlare (API Request) $CF_DNSData = $null $paramInvokeRestMethod = @{ Uri = $CF_DNSURI ContentType = 'application/json' Headers = $CF_Headers ErrorAction = 'Stop' WarningAction = 'Continue' } $CF_DNSData = ((Invoke-RestMethod @paramInvokeRestMethod).result) # Compare again (Double check) if ($CF_ExternalIP -ne $CF_DNSData.content) { # OK, we are sure that there is a new IP!
