Nethserver-ddclient

Feature
1

srpm are available http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/nethserver/nethserver-ddclient/
and source https://github.com/stephdl/nethserver-ddclient/tree/ns6

The purpose is to manage the ddclient service and update your dyndns when necessary

yum install http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/nethserver/nethserver-ddclient/ddclient-3.8.1-9.el6.noarch.rpm http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/nethserver/nethserver-ddclient/nethserver-ddclient-1.0.1-2.ns6.noarch.rpm

you have a bundle of some dyndns providers, some are free, other are non free. If you think that more providers could be added, please provide the dydns configuration (GG is your friend)

This is a good implementation of the ddclient service, but I am using Freedns (http://freedns.afraid.org) as a provider.
Could this provider be added to the module?

3

add the configuration of ddclient please

4

Impressive! I love this french man! Ahaha :+1:

5

accordingly the documentation Dynamic DNS clients, it seems that it is needed dd-client-3.8 and of course dag provide only the ddclient-3.7.3-2 :slight_smile:

6

I have 2 sample configurations for Freedns - copied from http://freedns.afraid.org/scripts/freedns.clients.php

I am using a configuration similar to sample #1

Sample #1
daemon=5m
timeout=10
syslog=no # log update msgs to syslog
mail=root # mail all msgs to root
mail-failure=root # mail failed update msgs to root
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid # record PID in file.
ssl=yes # use ssl-support. Works with ssl-library
use=if, if=eth0
server=freedns.afraid.org
protocol=freedns
login=login_name
password=the_password
somedomain.mooo.com

Sample #2
use=your_router #If supported, can be listed with ddclient --help
server=freedns.afraid.org
protocol=dyndns1
login=login_name
password=the_password
somedomain.mooo.com

here I use the ‘web’ to retrieve the external IP, a service like http://myip.dnsdynamic.org/

Does is it workable with free dns ???

8

I don’t beleive that FreeDNS refers to a IP address but instead refers to the username / login and (sub)domain name (see above sample configuration)

9

above the ethernet NIC eth0 is used to retrieve the external IP

above the router is used to retrieve the external IP

I can be wrong but the service needs a reference to find the external IP, for commodity I use an external website, but you can choose between several others

11

A new version is available, the FreeDNS should be tested
I don’t have account.

Now the dynamic hosts get their own database.

Ehi @medworthy what more could you ask for? :+1:

14

Yep, it worked like a dream, just checked nslookup and everything is correct. I have not used any mx records (I have yet to set up a mail server).

Hey Guys!

Question, it is possible with the DDNS module set up a plain-provider in which you can enter the server and returns the string with placeholders itself.

I am in a small provider is not listed. (http://dyndnsfree.de)

That would be great!

Gerald

Sorry I don’t understand your question, please can you reformulate.

Concerning http://dyndnsfree.de can you provide the configuration of ddclient

17

Well my idea is that for vendors that are not listed a kind of free-text input power, so the server indicates manuel and the module enters ddclient.conf this accordingly in the.
User name and password and the domain you wear so well accordingly, still missing the protocol and the server where you registered with.

Here the pattern contents of a ddclient.conf would be with the data of freedyndns.de
(/etc/ddclient.conf)

daemon=300
syslog=yes
mail-failure=root
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
protocol=dyndns2
ssl=no
use=web
server=dynup.de
login=meinbenutzername
password=meinpasswort
hostname.p7.de

18

Agree, probably it is not a huge think to do

thanks, I will add it

New version available, see first comment.

Your provider dyndnsfree is now available, with free custom field if your want another provider.

It is not a satisfy solution to provide custom fields since some providers are different and use not standard settings, but that can help.

I wonder if someone needs wildcard settings with their providers ? Personally I use dyndns and I have it enabled for my personal use, but if you need it we can imagine a setting with a checkbox.

The coding weekend is over, I worked yesterday, and I go now to see another customer
pfffttt

Thanks again,
