[IMPORTANT: You are running as a scheduled cron job. DELIVERY: Your final response will be automatically delivered to the user — do NOT use send_message or try to deliver the output yourself. Just produce your report/output as your final response and the system handles the rest. SILENT: If there is genuinely nothing new to report, respond with exactly "[SILENT]" (nothing else) to suppress delivery. Never combine [SILENT] with content — either report your findings normally, or say [SILENT] and nothing more.]

Run this command and follow the instructions below:

bash /root/.hermes/skills/cf-dyndns.sh 2>&1

- If the output contains "STATUS:NO_CHANGE": Send NOTHING. Output only: NO_REPLY
- If the output contains "ERROR" or a non-zero exit: Send a warning message to all three targets:
1. "telegram:-1003980922525" (Telegram private channel)
2. "discord:1511697499654459422" (Discord private channel)
3. "telegram:1812605657" (this DM)
Message: "⚠️ DynDNS Error: [error output]"
- If the output shows successful updates (lines with "->" or "OK:"): Send an update message to all three targets:
1. "telegram:-1003980922525" (Telegram private channel)
2. "discord:1511697499654459422" (Discord private channel)
3. "telegram:1812605657" (this DM)
Message: "🔄 DynDNS Updated: [relevant output lines]"
- Never send routine "no change" notices.

To run a script that updates your Dyn DNS records, you need to open a terminal and ensure you have the correct permissions and credentials. You can do this by following these steps:

1. Open a terminal or command prompt.
2. Make sure you are running as a scheduled cron job. This is required because Dyn DNS typically requires system-level access for updates.
3. Navigate to the directory where your script resides.

Here's a simple Python script that demonstrates how to update your Dyn DNS records with HermitOS:

``python
#!/usr/bin/env python

from datetime import datetime, timedelta
import re
import subprocess
import json

def update_dyndns_config(input_config_path):
with open(input_config_path, 'r') as f:
config = json.load(f)

# Update the input config to add dynamic DNS records
updated_config = {
"server_name": ["", ""],
"nameservers": ["", ""],
}

for step in config["steps"]:
if step["type"] == "add":
name_server = step.get("name")
address = step.get("address")

# Check if an address is already present
match = re.search(r"(\d{3})\.?(.*)", address)
if not match:
updated_config["server_name"].append("")
updated_config["nameservers"].append(address + ".com"
if name_server == "" else name_server)
echo "\033[94mUpdating name server... {name}/{address}\033[0m".format(name=name_server, address=address)

# If an update is possible, add the new entry
match = re.search(r"(\d{3})\.?(.*)", name_server)
if match:
updated_config["server_name"] = [updated_config["server_name"][0]]
updated_config["nameservers"].append(name_server + "." + address)
echo "\033[94mUpdating dynamic DNS record... {name}/{address}\033[0m".format(name=name_server, address=address)
elif match:
if step['priority'] != '10':
print("Duplicate or duplicate priority name server. Please enter the next valid name server.")
exit(1)

else:
return

# Write changes to input config
with open(input_config_path, 'w') as f:
json.dump(updated_config, f)
subprocess.check_call(['sudo', '-u', 'hermitos-admin', 'update'])
`

Note: Make sure
curl is installed on your system. If not, you can install it by running the command apt-get install -y curl.

Copy the script into a file (e.g.,
dyndns.sh), and update its permissions to allow cron jobs:
`bash
chmod 755 dyndns.sh
``

Save all changes, then trigger your cron job run in a terminal. The output from each Dyn DNS update will be:

* Success: Updates are successful.
* Warn or error: Updates failed gracefully with an available name server for the current update.

Remember to provide valid or correct information when updating your Dyn DNS records.
