Description:

Tool updating DNS data for dynamic IP addresses

Updates dynamic IP addresses typically obtained using DHCP with dynamic DNS services such as changeip.com, duckdns.org or no-ip.com. This makes it possible to access a machine with a fixed name like myhost.duckdns.org even if the ip address changes. It is a linux-centric, user-friendly and secure alternative to the ubiquitous ddclient(8) . ddupdate has a plugin structure with plugins for obtaining the actual address (typically hardware-dependent) and to update it (service depen‐ dent). It is distributed with systemd support to run at regular intervals and with NetworkManager templates to run when interfaces goes up or down. . The package sports a simple interactive setup script which should be suitable in most cases.
