Cfst Hosts Update Commit

Overview

Run the repo's cfst_hosts.sh workflow to pick the fastest IP, update result_hosts.txt and nowip_hosts.txt, and commit those file changes in git.

Workflow

1. Confirm location and prerequisites

   • Work from the repo root containing cfst_hosts.sh and CloudflareST.
   • If this is the first run, be ready to input the current Cloudflare IP when prompted; it will be stored in nowip_hosts.txt.

2. Run the update script

   • Prefer sudo bash cfst_hosts.sh so /etc/hosts and /etc/hosts_backup can be updated.
   • If sudo is not allowed, run bash cfst_hosts.sh and note that /etc/hosts may not update.

3. Validate outputs

   • Ensure result_hosts.txt exists and has at least one data row (header + IP row).
   • Ensure nowip_hosts.txt contains the new IP selected from result_hosts.txt.

4. Stage and commit

   • Check git status -sb; only proceed if the intended changes are result_hosts.txt and nowip_hosts.txt.
   • Stage: git add result_hosts.txt nowip_hosts.txt.
   • Commit with a short, imperative message like "Update CFST hosts" (or user-specified).
   • Do not push unless explicitly asked.

Failure handling

• If result_hosts.txt is missing or has no IP rows, stop and report; do not commit.
• If cfst_hosts.sh exits early (no IP found), do not commit.
• If unexpected files change, ask before committing.
