Updating Dynamic IP Address Automatically September 8, 2005
Posted by Carthik in administration, ubuntu.trackback
If you have a server running at home, using Ubuntu – file server, webserver, ssh server or the kind – using a service such as zoneedit.com or dyndns.org to provide you with DNS services so that you can access your server using a URL, then you might have to update your DNS record at the service periodically whenever the IP address of your computer changes.
Experts recommend that you use ddclient, which updates the IP address whenever it changes. You can install it from the ubuntu repositories by doing a
$sudo apt-get install ddclient
and configure it as neccessary. If you can’t find the public IP address, then you can have ddclient check your public IP address from the web by editing /etc/ddclient.conf and making it use the web by saying:
use = web

Ddclient funktioniert bei mir schön per Kommandozeile, sudo ddclient. Aber wie lasse ich ddclient regelmäßig laufen?
Habe was in /etc/init.d gefunden, kann aber damit nix anfangen.

Trag einfach folgendes noch in die ddclient.conf ein
daemon=300 (Zeitdauer in sek.),
syslog=yes (log 2 /var/log/syslog)
Zeitdauer nicht kürzer als 300 sek, setzen, sonst wirste gesperrt, da es als DoS aufgefasst wird.
Hope this helps

use=web
doesn’t work for me
I have to use
use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.org/, web-skip=’IP Address’ # found after IP Address
ya same problem to me too.. use web is not updating the dyndns. Couldnt find anything in syslog when i used ddclient -syslog
Mine seems to work now, thanks!
[…] replaced eponym with ddclient which is recommended by both dyndns and some ubuntu […]
i need updating ip address from my modem/router so how should be my config with ddclient ?
