My Shitty DNS

MyShittyDns

A terrible yet conveniently easy way of tracking the dynamic public IP of my home server.

Installation

1. Create a repository somewhere private and clone locally
   1. The remote name must be origin (default value).
2. Add this repository as submodule
   1. git submodule add [e-mail]:tihbe/MyShittyDNS.git
3. Install python dependencies pip3 install -r ./MyShittyDNS/requirements.txt
4. Execute the script python3 ./MyShittyDNS/fetchip.py
5. You should have your public IP address in your private git repository.
6. Cronjob the python script
   1. echo "*/5 * * * * $USER $(which python) $(pwd)/MyShittyDNS/fetchip.py >> $(pwd)/cron.log 2>&1" | sudo tee /etc/cron.d/myshittydns
