FritzBox not updating, manually calling URL works #36

I have gone through the instructions and the cloudflare and FritzBox documentations multiple times, but can't find my error.

My setup:

  • Some old PC with ubuntu as server in my home network

  • A FritzBox 7590 as my network router

  • This project deployed as a docker container on said server

  • Cloudflare account, where i registered my domain and route it to the public IP of my FritzBox

This works. I have configured my FritzBox with this:

where "schubuntu" is the hostname of the server and the password is an API token from cloudflare. The full URL is this:
http://schubuntu:9017?token=<pass>&zone=<domain>&ipv4=<ipaddr>&ipv6=<ip6addr>

Now the issue: I had multiple changes of my public IP over the last little while, but my DNS records where never updated.
When i manually enter the update-url in a browser and replace pass, domain, ipv4 and ipv6 I get a success response and the record is updated. So my guess is that the router just doesn't call the URL or replaces wrong parameters?

Please tell me what i did wrong or if the FritzBox not working correctly.

Any help is appreciated, thank you

Could you please check the FritzBox logs? Have you tried using the IP address of schubuntu oder at least the FQDN (schubuntu.fritz.box) for the Update-URL?

I did check the logs, but weirdly there was no mention of anything about DynDNS at all. Unless there is some other secret log, the System > Event Log never mentions DNS in the connection or system category.
I changed the host to the actual IP now, triggered a reconnection through the FritzBox but it still did not update the record at cloudflare :(
Also: I can enter either the hostname or the IP of my local server in my browser and go to the update URL and it works, so I really feel the issue is in the FritzBox.

So at this point, do you think I should rather reach out to AVM support?
