Cloudflare DDNS updating

1. The problem I’m having:

I am moving from Google Domains to Cloudflare. I’d like to use Caddy to update my wildcared dynamic DNS entry but can’t figure out the caddyfile syntax.

2. Error messages and/or full log output:

3. Caddy version:

2.7.6

4. How I installed and ran Caddy:

Unriad Docker

a. System environment:

Unraid Docker

b. Command:

docker run
  -d
  --name='CaddyV2'
  --net='bridge'
  -e TZ="America/Los_Angeles"
  -e HOST_OS="Unraid"
  -e HOST_HOSTNAME="Tower"
  -e HOST_CONTAINERNAME="CaddyV2"
  -l net.unraid.docker.managed=dockerman
  -l net.unraid.docker.icon='https://d1q6f0aelx0por.cloudfront.net/product-logos/library-caddy-logo.png'
  -p '180:80/tcp'
  -p '1443:443/tcp'
  -v '/mnt/user/appdata/caddy/data':'/data':'rw'
  -v '/mnt/user/appdata/caddy':'/config':'rw'
  -v '/mnt/user/appdata/caddy/Caddyfile':'/etc/caddy/Caddyfile':'rw' 'caddy:alpine'

d. My complete Caddy config:

dynamic_dns {
        dns_provider cloudflare
        api_token redacted
        domains {
                nagpal.house *
        }
        versions ipv4
        ip_source simple_http https://icanhazip.com
        ip_source simple_http https://api64.ipify.org
        check_interval 5m
}

calibre.nagpal.house {
        reverse_proxy 10.0.0.152:8083
        }

jellyfin.nagpal.house {
        reverse_proxy 10.0.0.141:8096
        }

komga.nagpal.house {
        reverse_proxy 10.0.0.101:25600
        }

dynamic_dns goes in the global options block. You must wrap it with { } braces as per the structure:
