realDynDNS

RealDynDNS aims to be a replacement to "classical" dynDNS solutions that offer a subdomain. Instead realDynDns actually changes your DNS entries.

This service requires your DNS provider to expose an API that allows your DNS entries to be changed. A service that provides your current external IP is also required.

Configuration

The configuration is done via a YAML file called config.yaml. The following example shows the configuration for a domain with two subdomains.

Configuration of the IP provider and the DNS provider is mandatory.

The check_interval is mandatory and follows the cron syntax including seconds. It defines how often the IP is checked and the DNS entries are updated. If you don't own the external ip provider, please be nice and don't set the interval too low.

You may configure multiple top level domains with multiple subdomains. If you also want the top level domain to be updated, add it to the subdomains list with an @.

ip_provider:
  type: plain
  config:
    url: https://ifconfig.me
dns_provider:
  type: ionos
  config:
    api_key: <your-api-key>
    base_url: https://api.hosting.ionos.com/dns
domains:
  - tld: example.com
    subdomains:
      - "@"
      - www
check_interval: 0 0 0/6 * * * *

DNS Providers

The DNS provider abstracts the API of your DNS provider. Currently the following providers are supported:

IONOS

IONOS requires two configuration parameters. You can get your API key here.

api_key: <your-api-key>
base_url: https://api.hosting.ionos.com/dns

External IP Providers

The external IP provider is used to get your current external IP. Currently the following providers are supported:

Plain

Any provider that returns your IP as plain text can be used. The following configuration is required:

url: <your-providers-URL>

Examples for providers are:
