 *So to start learning Bash I tasked myself with rewriting [my simple Powershell script](https://karf.net/Siim/DIY-DynDNS-Powershell). Turns out I have quite a lot to learn. This doc is basically my learning notes meant mostly for my own use.*
 
+### Prerequisites
+ - Use Cloudflare DNS
+ - [Powershell installed](obsidian://open?vault=Glamdring%202&file=PowerShell%20on%20Debian)
+
+
+### Step 1 - Get a Token
+Get a Cloudflare API token with the necessary permissions. Log in to your CloudFlare account, go to `Manage Account` and to `Account API Tokens`. Click that big, blue `Create Token` button and select the `Edit zone DNS` template.
+
+Select the relevant Zone Resources, I just gave it permissions to edit all my zones:

+
+Once you've configured it all, continue to summary, click `Create Token` and remember to save it. It will only be shown once, so if you forget to save it you'll have to create a new token.
+
 ### Getting started
