General
This is a great tool for keeping a dynamic ip static to the world.
Install
From the package manager.
More info on their website.
Config
This can be very hard if you are new to it.
Below is an example of one that works between zoneedit and Ubuntu Server 18.04.3
# Configuration file for ddclient generated by debconf # # /etc/ddclient.conf #use=web, web=myonlineportal.net/checkip ssl=yes protocol=zoneedit1 #use=if, if=enp0s31f6 use=web, web=dynamic.zoneedit.com/checkip.html server=dynamic.zoneedit.com login=yourboss password= 'asifiwouldgiveittoyou' domain1.com, domain2.com domain3.com domain4.com
Running the program
sudo ddclient
Most errors are clear from the output. It does not like to be run more than every 5 minutes.
This will allow you to see all the debugging.
sudo ddclient -daemon=0 -debug -verbose -noquiet
You may need to remove the cache file
sudo rm /var/cache/ddclient/ddclient.cache
