DynDNS: configuring ddclient
This guide shows you how to configure ddclient, a practical system available for most Linux distributions (example).
Requirements
- The ddclient package for your distribution must be installed
- A dynamic DNS must have been created for the domain concerned. Follow this guide, if necessary.
ddclient configuration
The configuration file in
/etc/ddclient.conf
must look like this:
protocol=dyndns2
ssl=yes
use=web
server=infomaniak.com
login=abc
password=123
example.com
- ssl=yes is essential for ddclient to function properly. Also make sure that the libio-socket-ssl-perl package is installed
- login: the login set in Infomaniak Manager when you added Dynamic DNS (help)
- password: the password set in Infomaniak Manager when you added Dynamic DNS (help)
- example.com: to be replaced by your domain name
