Introducing DDNS
by Michael Tremer 21 Jun '16

21 Jun '16

Hello, this is a post to update you all about the recent developments regarding the support for the various upcoming dynamic DNS providers. Rationale Some of the major dynamic DNS providers stopped their free services or made them unusable so that people started searching for alternatives. In IPFire 2, a script called setddns.pl [1] is responsible for updating the dynamic DNS records. This script has grown over the last couple of months and if you have looked into it you will have noticed that it has become from ugly to almost un-maintainable. The decision that we don't want to take this mess with us into the next generation of IPFire was already made many years ago. DDNS A project called ddns was started which is a pure Python client that is much more flexible, cleanly rewritten and easily extensible. It is cross-platform, cross-distribution and does not need any third-party python modules. The basics already written years ago, Stefan Schantl and I worked on making this ready for IPFire 2 and added all the providers that are currently supported by setddns.pl and ez-ipupdate. The source for the new DDNS tool can be found over here: http://git.ipfire.org/?p=ddns.git;a=summary or on GitHub https://github.com/ipfire/ddns were you can send us pull requests for supporting new providers and so on. Bug reports go to the usual place: https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=DDNS%20Updater There is no fixed release schedule for this, but we are pretty sure that this won't take long until DDNS arrives in IPFire 2. That means that we won't take any patches for the setddns.pl script that add support for new providers any more. We appreciate any contribution and as always hope to get some feedback back from the community! Best, -Michael [1] http://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=blob;f=src/scripts/setddns.pl;h=5…
