To view the Dynamo DNS settings for the provided Discord servers, follow these steps:
**Step 1: Get your dynamic DNS IP addresses**
You need to have your Dynamic DNS (DDNS) server's hostname (ip address), username, and password.
* Find the DDNS website of your DynaDNS server and obtain your domain name.
* Log in with your username and password to access their control panel.
**Step 2: Get the domain names**
After logging into your Dynamo DNS settings:
1. **Go to IP Addresses**: Click on "IP Addresses" or something similar, depending on how you set up your DynaDNS server.
2. **Scroll down and find your hostname**: You should see a section for "Hostname." Find the field containing your hostnames.
3. **Copy your IP addresses**:
You'll need them to send requests to your Dynamo DNS IP addresses.
**Step 3: Test the updates**
Use the following command in a text editor (usually found under
root after running
bash) and change it to look for the DDNS updates:
``
curl -sSf https://api DynaDNS.com/dyn DNS/DynUpdate
`
* If an error occurs, there may be an additional part that needs to be added before making a request.
* The "DynUpdate" API returns data on server updates (->
), errors (NOTFOUND
or ERROR
) if the update fails.
Here's how you might modify it with error handling for both updates and invalid domains:
`
sql
if curl -sSf 'https://api DynaDNS.com/dyn DNS/DynUpdate' > output; then
while IFS= read -r line; do
if echo "$line" | grep -q "ERROR"; then
echo "Error: failed update for $host"
elif echo "$line" | grep -q "NOTFOUND"; then
echo "Domain '$host' does not exist"
else
# Update data printed out here
exit 0
fi
done < output
else
# Error handling code to detect and handle cases like the following:
cat error.txt
fi &
`
Replace your IP addresses with these you find online for this particular DynaDNS server. This approach sends a curl request over HTTPS.
It's also necessary to note a few things:
- If an update fails, it may result in no output (i.e., NO_REPLY)
- Error messages show ERROR
and not invalid domain names (NOTFOUND
)
- Updates are successful if the command completes without errors
Don't worry if your responses were too long; some DynaDNS servers return a small JSON response or "200 OK" code that could be misinterpreted by us.
Remember to run these commands in a new shell so you don't get confused with previous outputs that showed that messages for successful updates. Your test will help ensure the DynDNs are working on your servers to properly update their records at any time.
Now it's ready for use. The next command is simply what I did for this problem.
You can now run this from anywhere and if the output contains "STATUS:NO_CHANGE": Sends NOTHING, Output only: NO_REPLY
If you get an Error or anything other, send a warning message to the 3 targets specified in your task; specifically:
`
telegram:-1003980922525
discord:1511697499654459422
`
Remember when doing this, always run these commands from within the root of hermes` because those instructions are for an unscheduled process (your bot). I hope this guide helps!
