instantlinux/ddclient repository overview

⁠ddclient

Dynamic-DNS client - automatically updates a public DNS name with your dynamic IP address. Set this up under Kubernetes or Docker Swarm to ensure it's always running.

First create a secret:

echo -n user:pw ddclient-user
kubectl create secret generic ddclient-user --from-file=./ddclient-user
# or #
docker secret create ddclient-user ddclient-user

Then deploy this service, see the example helm⁠ / docker-compose.yml files. Available environment variables are:

Instead of supplying these variables, if your provider requires more parameters than shown above, you can volume-mount the configuration as /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf.

Logging is set to verbose in order to have any logging at all; it's not possible to reduce verbosity to a lower level than about 18 lines of output per interval without modifying source code.

This repo has complete instructions for building a kubernetes cluster⁠ where you can launch with helm⁠ or kubernetes.yaml⁠ using make and customizing Makefile.vars⁠ after cloning this repo:

git clone https://github.com/instantlinux/docker-tools.git
cd docker-tools/k8s
make ddclient
