ddclient VS cloudflare-ddns-updater

You can find an example of the full config file here: https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient/blob/master/ddclient.conf.in

Check your distribution's repos first, but Ddclient doesn’t have an automatic installation procedure. Get the tar-file from https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient/releases and untar it. Copy the perl script to your favorite location (ex. /usr/sbin) and create a

ddclient has support for Google DNS. It is available as a package on Ubuntu/Debian.

As I recall ddclient is a perl script or some such. It should be relatively easy to just download and build it. https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient/releases

Which version of OPNSense are you running at the moment? There were changes to the os-ddclient package in the 23.1.6 patch in order to fix the config generation in response to changes in ddclient 3.10.0 when enabling IPv6 updates (ipv6=yes was disabled, and replaced with usev4/usev6. If a reboot doesn't help, I'd be happy to give you a hand with debugging the ddclient config.

FROM alpine:3.17.3 RUN apk update && apk upgrade RUN apk add git make autoconf automake perl-io-socket-inet6 perl-io-socket-ssl WORKDIR /opt RUN git clone https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient.git WORKDIR /opt/ddclient RUN ./autogen && ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/ddclient --localstatedir=/var RUN make && make VERBOSE=1 check && make install RUN rm /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf && touch /opt/ddclient.config && ln -s /opt/ddclient.config /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf RUN chmod 600 /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf ENTRYPOINT ["/bin/sh"] CMD ["-c", "ddclient; while true; do sleep 3600; done"]

So a came accros Inadyn which compared to the current state of DDclient, is being actively maintained. More info here from what i am talking about.

You can use ddclient, it supports a lot of DNS providers: https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient

I don't want to face difficulties if my ISP changes my IP address for whatever reason. So I'm planning to get something like this or this set up. I want to make sure I have my 'A' records set up correctly first.

Second this. I run this script with a cron job to update my Cloudflare as well and never had any problems with it.

I just use this script running on a VM to keep CloudFlare pointed to my public IP. Couldn’t figure out a way to get the UDMP to do it natively.

Well originally my plan, which I glossed over in my previous message, was to set my domain 'ABC' to point to my home IP, with a few CName, A or AAA records pointed to specific devices I wanted to access externally from my house (PC's I can RDP into for example), and I wanted to set up a subdomain (which I think would be an A and/or AAA record) which pointed to my Wix site so the only domain for it would be something like 'Wix.ABC.com', but it's looking like that won't be possible. I know Wix has options to set up A, AAA and Cname records on domains connected to a Wix website but as far as I'm aware they don't have an API for users to update them and I've never seen an 'app' to dynamically update them like the Cloudflare DDNs script. If I end up just buying a new domain for my Wix site then I guess making a subdomain from the ABC domain link to it wouldn't be much use.

If you want an easy Cloudflare DDNS script https://github.com/K0p1-Git/cloudflare-ddns-updater Unless you have an allocated DNS server already

Cloudflare API and this script on a nightly cron.

My only thoughts would be to purchase a domain from somewhere like GoDaddy and move the DNS nameservers for the domain over to a free Cloudflare account. Then use a script with the Cloudflare API to update your DNS entries to point to your NGINX host.

Here's the script I am using Cloudflare DDNS Updater

I never seemed to be able to get ddclient to work with cloudflare. I’d vouch for K0p1’s Cloudflare ddns script. It’s been working great for me
