This guide shows you how to set up ddclient, a system available for most Linux distributions for use with DynDNS Infomaniak.

Prerequisites

• To have installed the ddclient package for your distribution.
• A dynamic DNS must have been created on the relevant domain.

ddclient Configuration

The configuration file located at /etc/ddclient.conf should look like this:

protocol=dyndns2
	ssl=yes
	use=web
	server=infomaniak.com
	login=abc
	password=123
	domain.xyz

• ssl=yes is essential for ddclient to function correctly; you must ensure that the libio-socket-ssl-perl package is installed
• login / password: the identifier and password set in the Manager Infomaniak when adding the Dynamic DNS (help)
• domain.xyz: replace with your domain name
