Ddclient For Mac
NOTE: For a subdomain 'oxygen.copper.com', just replace @ with 'oxygen' Set-up DDCLIENT #Install DDCLIENT on Fedora sudo dnf install ddclient #Edit the configuration file to update IP on your Dynamic DNS host sudo nano /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf Press Ctrl+W and type the name of host for your Dynamic DNS. Mine is with Namecheap and I needed to configure for the subdomain hence following config reflects how to do it for Namecheap. For other hosts, you will need to refer their documentation. ## NameCheap (namecheap.com) ## use=web, web=dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com/getip protocol=namecheap, server=dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com, login=copper.com, password= oxygen # myhost.namecheap.com The password to be provided above is what you will find on namecheap dashboard (Ref.
Screenshot above). Log in to the namecheap account. Go to Advanced DNS.
Scroll down to Dynamic DNS section. Copy the password. Paste in ddclient config file Test DDCLIENT Before we schedule ddclient to run at boot, we need to test if it has been configured properly and is able to communicate with Namecheap by sudo ddclient -daemon=0 -debug -verbose -noquiet. If it is configured properly, you will see a message similar to this as part of the final output. SUCCESS: updating oxygen: good: IP address set to 92.117.273.56 If it is not what you see, and more importantly, if you do not see last line as 'Success', then there is something wrong with configuration and you must correct it before proceeding.

If this test worked, we are ready to update the DDCLIENT service. Set up DDCLIENT to run at start-up When we install ddclient using dnf, a ddclient.service file is automatically created in the location /etc/systemd/system/ddclient.service with following content.
Thanks for looking at my question. My host logs are not getting updated. I think from what I see in the debug info, ddclient appears to be running right, so maybe I messed up my standard dns panel somehow. Can you comment? I only have a couple A records that are active and one that is an offline A record. If I go to my dns setup and click on the link for my A record, Service type is 'Host with IP address' and the ip address is already set correctly. Also, I sets this up as a Daemon and in my console log after reboot, it runs and says: 10/20/16 4:37:21.220 PM ddclient341344: WARNING: cannot connect to socket: IO::Socket::INET: Bad hostname ' So, maybe there is a firewall issue, but I have added entries for /usr/bin/perl5.18 and ddclient in little snitch's rules, and in the ApplePreferencesSecurityFirewall panel.
Here is the launchd.plist file:
The update client cannot reach out, apparently even not with DNS name resolution for that domain. Can you visit? Try this update URL manually in a browser: Edit: My update is that my login problems in the console with ddclient went away as soon as I used my updater key instead of my password. No where in the ddclient page does it say to do so; I must be the thickest jerk in the Universe, no Multi-verse.! Oops, this is new and different information! If you want to use your password again, you must change it at the website, and then change it back.
You must do this each time when you (re)generate an Updater Client Key which invalidates your password for updates. Edit: I created a new updater client key, so now I need to change my password on account.dyn.com??
Why do you ask again what I have answered already? Do you expect different answers from me every time???

Ok, again: If you want to use your password again, you must change it at the website, and then change it back. You must do this each time when you (re)generate an Updater Client Key which invalidates your password for updates.
