Hello,

After using ddns-updater for a while with godaddy i wanted to change nameservers and use cloudflare.

I configured it as shown below:

         "provider": "cloudflare",
         "zone_identifier": "***********",
         "identifier": "***********",
         "host": "***********",
         "ttl": "1s",
         "email": "***********",
         "ip_method": "cycle",
         "key": "***********"

and i receive the following error:

2020-05-21T17:48:16.453Z WARN The value for the duration period of the updater does not have a time unit, you might want to set it to "300s" instead of "300" {"node_id": 0}

2020-05-21T17:48:16.455Z ERROR json: cannot unmarshal string into Go struct field settingsType.settings.ttl of type uint {"node_id": 0}

@qdm12 commented on GitHub (May 21, 2020):

ttl should be an integer only, so: "ttl": 1. You should set it to something higher like 3600 (one hour). This is not the update period of the program, that one is set with the environment variable DELAY=300s.

Feel free to re-open if it doesn't work. Thanks!
