Anyone had luck configuring DuckDNS with the DDNS Provider Module for NethServer?
What is the configuration you should drop, do you have a documentation link ?
Hi Stephane,
You are the creator of that module I think? It would be very nice to add support for it. You can find the documentation here. They don’t work with normal login and passwords but with tokens and you need to login with github or google. I tried everything I could think about.
It seems it works with a cron job, you have to install it manually
However we have manual instruction at https://sourceforge.net/p/ddclient/wiki/protocols/#duckdns
Any chance this could be implemented in the next version of the module you made? If possible I’d rather wait than execute a bunch of manual processes.
You have plenty different providers, I cannot follow all, hence I did a custom setting area.
Does it works else could you provide logs
Sorry Stephane for the late response. I had no time to look into this but that will be on my list to do I hope very soon.

Alright so I tried it. Here are the logs

And here is how I tried to configure it :
Haha I think I found the problem… FQDN, I should have removed ‘www’. And now it seems to work. It skipped the update since the IP is still the same.
