Automatic Record Creation Support

Most providers support automatic creation of non-existent DNS records, with exceptions:

• ⚠️he: Does not support automatic record creation, records must be manually created in the control panel
• ⚠️noip: Does not support automatic record creation, records must be manually created in the control panel

📝 Configuration Examples

Command Line Configuration

CLI provides command line configuration, here are some common command line examples:

# DNSPod China
ddns --dns dnspod --id 12345 --token your_token --ipv4 ddns.newfuture.cc

# Alibaba Cloud DNS
ddns --dns alidns --id your_access_key --token your_secret --ipv4 ddns.newfuture.cc

# Cloudflare (using email)
ddns --dns cloudflare --id user@example.com --token your_api_key --ipv4 ddns.newfuture.cc

# Cloudflare (using Token)
ddns --dns cloudflare --token your_api_token --ipv4 ddns.newfuture.cc

# No-IP
ddns --dns noip --id your_username --token your_password --ipv4 ddns.newfuture.cc

JSON Configuration File

JSON configuration file provides a more flexible configuration method, here are some common JSON configuration examples:

Traditional Single-Provider Format

{
  "$schema": "https://ddns.newfuture.cc/schema/v4.1.json",
  "dns": "dnspod",
  "id": "12345",
  "token": "your_token_here",
  "ipv4": ["ddns.newfuture.cc", "*.newfuture.cc"],
  "index4": ["default"],
  "ttl": 600
}

Multi-Provider Format

{
  "$schema": "https://ddns.newfuture.cc/schema/v4.1.json",
  "ssl": "auto",
  "cache": true,
  "log": {"level": "INFO"},
  "providers": [
    {
      "provider": "cloudflare",
      "id": "user@example.com",
      "token": "cloudflare-token",
      "ipv4": ["cf.example.com"],
      "ttl": 300
    },
    {
      "provider": "dnspod", 
      "id": "12345",
      "token": "dnspod-token",
      "ipv4": ["dnspod.example.com"],
      "ttl": 600
    }
  ]
}

Multiple Configuration Files Method

Command Line Specification

# Use multiple independent configuration files
ddns -c cloudflare.json -c dnspod.json -c alidns.json

# Use environment variable to specify multiple configuration files
export DDNS_CONFIG="cloudflare.json,dnspod.json,alidns.json"
ddns

Multiple Configuration Files Example

cloudflare.json:

{
  "dns": "cloudflare",
  "id": "user@example.com",
  "token": "your-cloudflare-token",
  "ipv4": ["cf.example.com"]
}

dnspod.json:

{
  "dns": "dnspod",
  "id": "12345", 
  "token": "your-dnspod-token",
  "ipv4": ["dnspod.example.com"]
}

Environment Variable Configuration

Environment variable configuration provides another configuration method, here are some common environment variable examples:

export DDNS_DNS=dnspod
export DDNS_ID=12345
export DDNS_TOKEN=your_token_here
export DDNS_IPV4=ddns.newfuture.cc
export DDNS_INDEX4=default
ddns --debug
