Title: How to force a ddclient update?
Post by: jonm on May 31, 2022, 04:22:59 pm

I'm testing 22.1.8 and I've switched to the os-ddclient plugin. Configured it with my noip details and it seems to be running. But it hasn't updated the noip IP address.

How do I force it to update? Apologies if it's obvious but I can't see it...

Thanks :)

if your IP address hasn't changed, os-ddclient will not 'update' but if you enable informational settings in the log you'll see the activity which will confirm whether it's working as intended.

Thanks. I just made the WAN IP address change (I get several from my ISP) and it didn't do anything. So it's not working for me. All the log shows is:

2022-05-31T20:23:12   Notice   ddclient[27120]   71304 - [meta sequenceId="1"] WARNING: found neither ipv4 nor ipv6 address   
2022-05-31T20:15:42   Notice   ddclient[27120]   73078 - [meta sequenceId="1"] WARNING: found neither ipv4 nor ipv6 address

Is that likely to be the reason why it's not working, or unrelated?

Looks like I needed to uncheck "Force SSL".

Seems to be working OK now.
