dnsupd - DynDNS update daemon

dnsupd - a small and simple DynDNS server

dnsupd listens for HTTP requests conforming to the DynDNS format and sends out DNS updates to an authoritative DNS server. The DNS zone, server and TSIG credentials as well as the useraccounts and hostnames are provided via a config file.

Installation

Either install the go package

# go install github.com/x-way/dnsupd@latest

Or alternatively install the docker image

# docker pull ghcr.io/x-way/dnsupd:latest

Usage

Run the go binary from your local path

# dnsupd -f dnsupd.json

Or run the docker image while passing the config file as volume

# docker run -v $(pwd)/dnsupd.json:/etc/dnsupd.json ghcr.io/x-way/dnsupd:latest
