Automatically Create CNAME records for containers served by Caddy? (alien.top)

Does anyone know of a tool similar to https://github.com/tiredofit/docker-traefik-cloudflare-companion to automatically register CNAME entries in Cloudflare but for Caddy Server?

I suppose wildcard DNS would not work for you?

I have a *.svr.domain.tld on Google Domains (need to transfer somewhere else), and then on Caddyfile I can register individual foo.svr.domain.tld without touching DNS

That's a very good one! I hadn't thought about it that way. Anyway, if there was some similar tool for Caddy it would be great. Thanks for your comment.

Put your request in caddy forums and tag mholt he is very responsive . You could also sign up for open ai (chat gpt) feed it the compose.yml file in that github and ask it "what does this yml do" let it answer then ask "what modifications would be needed to make a similar script or yml that uses caddy in stead of traffik" when it gives you a working output (try it ) and go back to forums and say I want to make somethng like this and get feedback . Rinse and repeat and it may already exist as a combo of adding caddy packages + you just need the right caddyfile or json + addons to work with what may already exist as a feature with some docker tweaks

I fixed a few scripts / yml configs like this that I prob wouldnt havent gotten close to working without hours of headbanging / trial and error.

I will make sure to post this question in the Caddy forum. I just wanted to know the opinions and experiences of other people who also had this need, that's why I opened this Reddit thread.
Thanks!
