To solve this problem, you can use the Hermes cron job to run a script that interfaces with your DynDNS provider and updates their DNS mappings.
Here's an example how you might do it:
``
bash
#!/bin/bash
# Your DynDNS credentials from DynDNS settings panel
dyndns_username=""
dyndns_password=""
# Set up the DynDNS API endpoint URL
dyndns_api_url="https://dyn.dns-name.com/dynapi/resolve"
# Run a script to update your DNS mappings
script_to_run="
curl -u '$dyndns_username:$dyndns_password' -X POST \
$dyndns_api_url/\{
'json': {
\"name\":\"your-username\",
\"password\":\"your-password\"
}
/\
"
# Write the script to a file, let's call it dynupdate.sh
touch /tmp/dynupdate.sh
echo "$script_to_run" > /tmp/dynupdate.sh
# Make the script executable so you can run it with hermes cron job permissions
chmod +x /tmp/dynupdate.sh
# Schedule your script to run twice a day as the user "your-username"
hermes cron -f "/root/.hermes/skills/cf-dyndns.sh" dynupdate.sh 8 * * * \
`
This will update your DynDNS DNS mappings every hour. If you want to only get an error message sent directly to specific targets without any output, use a redirect and send nothing for 2>&1
:
`
bash
#!/bin/bash
# ... Your script ...
script_to_run="
echo $?
"
hermes cron -f "/root/.hermes/skills/cf-dyndns.sh" dynupdate.sh 8 * * *
``
Finally, you need to set up your DynDNS server so your Herespace DNS plugin can get updated without any issues.
