Cloudflare DNS Records

Description

Generic, data-driven role to manage DNS records on Cloudflare (A/AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV).
Designed for reuse across apps (e.g., Mailu) and environments.

Overview

This role wraps community.general.cloudflare_dns and applies records from a single structured variable (cloudflare_records). It supports async operations and can be used to provision all required records for a service in one task.

Cosmos

The diagram places Cloudflare DNS Records in the Infinito.Nexus cosmos: the components it deploys (capabilities), the central services it consumes (dependencies), and its outward reach (federation and bridged external networks).
