Alternatives to DDNS Updater for Windows, Mac, Linux, Software as a Service (SaaS), Web and more. If you only have one network, it will be used automatically. If you have more than one dynamic network in your OpenDNS account, the program will ask you to select the network whose settings to use for this computer.

Last but not least, the commands were run as root user for it to work.When you run the program for the first time, it will ask for your OpenDNS account username and password.

There are many other configurations possible with ddclient such as sending an email notification.I personally wanted to use cloudflare and went this route.

ddclient can update a wide variety of DNS like dyndns, no-ip, even namecheap.

Again, I wanted something quick, so resorted to manually downloading and copying the binary to /sbin and config file. I am sure there must be a way to manually configure it an get it up and running. I couldn’t configure or get it running because i wanted to use cloudflare protocol, not no-ip, not. Unfortunately I couldn’t get it to work (100% some issue from my setup), So I resorted to crontab ddclient should ideally be run as a daemon/systemd service.

This is an in-elegant way of running ddclient.

Yay! We have successfully setup an auto-updating domain name for our Dynamic IP home server. Once you have verified, revert it back to 15 minutes/ 30 minutes or whichever duration you prefer. So that it runs every minute, and then manually change the IP address in Cloudflare, wait for a minute and see if ddclient updates it back to your Home Public IP. If you want to test out crontab, make the entry as 15 * * * * /usr/sbin/ddclient 45 4 * * * /usr/sbin/ddclient -force One is a normal run every 5 minutes, and the other is a force update once in a day. Step 6) Let’s schedule the ddclient to run on a routine basis. By default ddclient only does a DNS update if the IP address has changed. Login to CloudFlare DNS console to make sure your sub-domain IP address has been updated to point to Home server’s public IP.

You should see an output which says “SUCCESS: - Updated Succesfully to YOURPUBLICIP” Run the following command ddclient -daemon=0 -debug -verbose -noquiet -force Replace the values in CAPS with your values. You will need the strange \ characters yes. The password here refers to the cloudflare API token you created in Step 4.

This should ideally work on Debian as well with no changes. I tested these on Ubuntu 18.04 and Raspbian 10. Now, lets configure ddclient to ensure the dynamic update of IP address happens.
