os-ddclient

[jclendineng]

Marjohn56 and franco made a new home for ddclient. so as I understand it, the revised version of the ddclient supports much more dns services.

OH that makes sense...I tried looking at the codebase and didn't appear to support...thank you for the clarification! If I have to delete the old one prior to the new I wanted to be sure I would have minimal potential downtime.

Edit: Most certainly does NOT support Cloudflare ;), so readers don't get confused I have attached a screenshot of what IS supported, so by al means do NOT do what I did and try to upgrade unless you are on those supported services.

Does anyone know how to configure duckdns in ddclient to update the wan ip every so often?

Edit: Solved

[BrandonG777]

Any solution for Cloudflare users? I thought I read something about custom settings but I don't see anywhere to do that.

DNSOMatic also is absent from ddclient.

[Bierfassl82]

selfhost.de is also missing from ddclient

There will be Cloudflare support!

Can anyone that is knowledgeable with the new plugin point me to the direction of getting godaddy to work with it? I played around with manually editing the config, and haven't gotten it to work so far.

There was a complaint that ddclient can't be used for a specific interface, but apparently that can be accomplished:

Code Select Expand

# Configuration file for ddclient generated by debconf
#
# /etc/ddclient.conf

protocol=dyndns2
use=if, if=eth0
server=update.spdyn.de
#ssl=yes
login=$USERNAME
password='$PASSWORD'
$HOSTNAME

FWIW, we got some very nice discussion going and already some PRs and sample code so it's looking like better progress than internally expected.

One other complaint was that ddclient was unmaintained based on release activity (and not looking at their commit history which shows activity in this January). Think of the possibility that we can even help things progress there with a broader use base provided via this project.

I still think people underestimate what open source can do with the right motivation in place.


Cheers,

Actually I thought about moving the dynDNS stuff to raspi servers... :-D

But what I found on the webs is mostly ddclient, too, and you have the problem to trigger the update fastly after WAN-IP change, to get your stuff back online as fast as possible. Some dyndns providers allow updating every minute (that's like spamming, or?) others every hour (then you might be offline for max. 59 minutes).

I think it's best to keep this functionality on the opnsense.

No support in ddclient for godaddy. Just spent a number of hours playing with it, then once I had done that I then have to start adding stuff to Opnsense to allow godaddy to be used.... run out of time ( and the will to live! ).

Can anyone that is knowledgeable with the new plugin point me to the direction of getting godaddy to work with it? I played around with manually editing the config, and haven't gotten it to work so far.

With the current os-dyndsn service I can select "Custom" as the "Service type" and enter the information that my Dynamic DNS provider sent me (Username, Password and URL).

I tested the os-ddclient plugin today and noticed that it (currently) only supports a finit list of providers. My Dynamic DNS provider is very likely to small to ever end up in that list.

Are there plans to add a "Custom" entry to os-ddclient?

Ok! Thank you for trying. I don't feel so bad for not getting it to work now.  :)

Yup, succeeded with:
