Title: Dynamic DNS plugin os-ddclient not supporting Route53?
Post by: thereaper on July 21, 2022, 10:44:33 am: I wanted to set it up, looked at docs, docs recommend os-ddclient. But seems it misses Route53 support.

The legacy plugin, os-dyndns, supports even two Route53s, lol, IPv4 and v6. But it complains "Please make sure to upgrade to os-ddclient before 22.7 is released as this plugin will be removed from our repository".

What am I missing, please?

Use whatever works. It'll keep working...

Cheers,

Post by: KuDDlowski on August 07, 2023, 10:17:23 am: I'm still using the legacy plug in to support Route 53 DDNS. Is updating route53 entries supported through the os-ddclient custom backend?

EDIT: So far I think I found out that the os-ddclient custom backend only implements the dyndns2 protocol which is not supported by AWS Route53 to update record sets. Also found this: https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient/issues/422
From that I basically understood that eventually Route53 support can be added to ddclient but it won't happen for the next release and they are looking for someone who is willing to implement the Route53 support for ddclient.

If in ddclient / General Settings / Backend you select "native", then you can create Account with Service = aws.

But it still does not work, see
- "I found out that the os-ddclient custom backend only implements the dyndns2 protocol which is not supported by AWS Route53", in this thread
- https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=38706.msg189486#msg189486

EDIT: Hmm, just saw one NOTICE line in log, "Account (UUID) [aws - R53] set new ip x.x.x.x, ID /change"
Maybe it started working ...

Post by: thereaper on February 16, 2024, 04:57:07 am: The ddclient works with AWS now! Settings:
- ddclient / General Settings / Backend = "native"
- ddclient / Accounts / (account) / Check ip method = Interface[IPV4] (clone it for second account for IPV6)
I'm on latest OPNsense 24.1.1-amd64, it might help.
