Problem with DDClient and its new Widget.

[AhnHEL]

I get this with the new widget in the attached picture, a blank space with no IP for Current IP or a Date and Time for Updated.  I've obscured the hostname.  I'm pretty sure there's just an issue with how the ddclient.cache file is generated on my opnsense.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin but I still get this blank in the plugin.  Everything is working fine with ddclient otherwise and I'm getting successful updates in the logs using Porkbun API as a service.

My ddclient.cache file looks like this:

## ddclient-3.11.2
## last updated at Mon Aug  5 09:34:24 2024 (1722864864)
host=host.domain.com host.domain.com


In Services: Dynamic DNS: Settings, the Current IP and Dated are blank there as well.

Can you tell me the output of your api?

When you are in the browser an logged into OPNsense, just replace "/ui/..." with this:

/api/dyndns/accounts/search_item

So e.g. https://192.168.1.1/api/dyndns/accounts/search_item

If there is sensitive data in the output, you can PM it to me. I would need the API output as raw as possible so I can see what the problem is.

[AhnHEL]

PM Sent, thank you.

[Monviech (Cedrik)]

The widget shows these two fields as current IP and last Update:

current_ip   ""
current_mtime   ""

In your case they are empty strings. So I guess the API does not show information for all providers.

If you go into the SSH shell and issue this command:

Code Select Expand

configctl ddclient statistics

Do you get any statistics back? I get this while using duckdns:

Code Select Expand

{"535905c8-0116-4933-b524-db500691ae1c": {"ip": "80.151.xxx.xxx", "status": "good", "mtime": 1723008946.4086237, "md5": "fedd5473fc98fb1f1854b8..."}}

Maybe there's a difference when using the "native" vs. the "ddclient" backend here.

One of the problems is https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/issues/3570

Does the resulting DynDNS entry returning no data work at all? That would be the main question instead of assuming the output is faulty.


Cheers,

Everything is working properly and my DNS entries at my registrar get updated as well if there is an IP change.  There just isnt a time or an IP updated in the Opnsense plugin.

If you go into the SSH shell and issue this command:

Code Select Expand

configctl ddclient statistics

Do you get any statistics back? I get this while using duckdns:

I get this

{"hosts": {"host.domain.com host.domain.com\n": {"host": "host.domain.com host.domain.com\n"}}, "version": "ddclient-3.11.2", "updated": 1722864864}

[Monviech (Cedrik)]

Looks like you are using the ddclient backend.

Though I don't know how to troubleshoot this any further.

If ip and time are not in the output, the widget can't show them. So technically the widget works correctly.
