Notification Setup

Discord

1. Sign up on the Discord website.

2. After creating an account, create a server.

3. Once this is done, right click on server > server settings > webhooks

4. Create a new webhook with a name of choice. Mine is "No-IP Host Monitor" and assign it to a channel.

5. Copy the Webhook URL and enter this during setup.

Future Improvements

• Improve logging process to allow user to modify log level efficiently
• Further tidy the script and improve installation & uninstallation process. Make this more streamline.
• Change the way the script sets "noip-renew-user" to call it. Make it noip-renew --noipaccountname
• Set up command parameters (--configure --help --version --uninstall --repair --upgrade --logs)
