digitalocean-dyndns-updater

This is a wrapper around https://github.com/bensquire/Digital-Ocean-Dynamic-DNS-Updater

It gives you a simple way to have a Docker container running somewhere in your network to keep a DNS record updated at DigitalOcean DNS servers.

Preparation

Log into your DigitalOcean account and go to the API section. Get yourself an API token.

Save it preciously. Do. Not. Commit. It. Anywhere. Public.

Starting up

There is two way to start the container:

Docker directly

Copy config.sh.sample to config.sh. Edit it to your needs.

Start Docker with the config file:

docker run -it --rm --env-file config.sh bcaron/digitalocean-dyn-dns-updater

With Docker-compose

Copy docker-compose.yml to docker-compose.yml. Edit to you needs. Start it:

docker-compose up -d 

Troubleshooting

Make sure your container IS running.

docker ps

Look at the logs:

docker logs dyn-dns-updater

Rebuilding the image

make build
