Description: Tool updating DNS data for dynamic IP addresses
Updates dynamic IP addresses typically obtained using DHCP with dynamic
DNS services such as changeip.com, duckdns.org or no-ip.com. This makes
it possible to access a machine with a fixed name like myhost.duckdns.org
even if the ip address changes. It is a linux-centric, user-friendly and
secure alternative to the ubiquitous ddclient(8)
.
ddupdate has a plugin structure with plugins for obtaining the actual
address (typically hardware-dependent) and to update it (service dependent).
It is distributed with systemd support to run at regular intervals
and with NetworkManager templates to run when interfaces goes up or down.
.
The package sports a simple interactive setup script which should be
suitable in most cases.
