Dynamic DNS for UniFi gateways: keeps Cloudflare A/AAAA records on your current IP.

  • Preserve each DNS record's proxy setting when its address changes
  • Support UniFi gateways with older firmware

Deploy UniFi DDNS on Cloudflare

  1. Step 1: Set up Appflare in your Cloudflare account

    Once

    Appflare installs itself into your own Cloudflare account from your browser, and runs on the free Workers plan, as UniFi DDNS does. See what UniFi DDNS needs on your account.

  2. Step 2: Install UniFi DDNS

    UniFi DDNS needs no keys or settings from you.

    One switch on the form puts UniFi DDNS behind Cloudflare Access, so only the people who use your Appflare can open it.

  3. Step 3: Finish setting it up

    After the install, Appflare shows two short steps for UniFi DDNS, on its page.

With Appflare instead of by hand

  • Nothing to build on your computerAppflare sets itself up from your browser, with no API token to create and nothing to install.
  • Updates in one clickAppflare tells you when the catalog has a new version, and Update installs it.
  • Health checksAfter every install and update, Appflare checks that the app answers.
  • It stays in your own accountEverything runs on your Cloudflare account and your plan, and Appflare records what it creates, so an uninstall removes it.

Questions

Does UniFi DDNS run on Cloudflare's free plan?

Yes. UniFi DDNS runs on Cloudflare's free Workers plan, and so does Appflare.

What does UniFi DDNS create in my Cloudflare account?

Appflare creates a Worker for UniFi DDNS. It also uses a domain. Appflare records each resource it creates; an uninstall deletes them, keeping any data you choose to keep.

How do I update UniFi DDNS?

When the catalog has a new version, UniFi DDNS's page in Appflare says Update available. Select Update: Appflare takes a snapshot first, so you can roll back to the version before. You can also let Appflare update it automatically.

Is UniFi DDNS open source?

Yes, under MIT. An open-source license: you may use, change and share the app on its terms. Its source code is at github.com/willswire/unifi-ddns.
