The instructions are for a scheduler script written in Python to update the DynDNS server of a Dyndns domain with the current time every two seconds.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. The first part of the script is just to define some constants at the beginning and save its output as
stdout_file.
2. It then defines a function called
update_dyndns which starts the update timer.
3. Once an update finishes (i.e. it prints "OK:"), it sends an update message to all three Telegram channels along with the relevant output lines.
To run this script:
* Make sure you have Python installed on your system.
* Open a new text file and add the following code:
``
python
import time
from datetime import datetime
# Your DynDNS credentials (server, username, password)
dyndns_server = "yourDynDNSURL"
username = "yourDynDNSUSERNAME"
password = "yourDynDNSPASSWORD"
def update_dyndns():
# Update the DynDNS server with the current time
url = f"http://{dyndns_server}/api/timezone/now?format=utc"
response = requests.get(url)
if response.status_code == 200:
print(f"Successfully updated: {datetime.now()}")
# Send an update message to all three Telegram channels along with the relevant output lines
telegram_channel1_id = -1003980922525
discord_channel_id = 1511697499654459422
telegram_channel3_id = 1812605657
import requests
responseTelegram = requests.get(f"https://api.telegram.org/bot{username}/message", params={"chat_id": telegram_channel1_id, "text": f"\\nCurrent time: {datetime.now()}"})
responseDiscord = requests.get(f"https://discord.com/api/users/{discord_channel_id}/messages?user={username}_{discord_channel_id}.html")
if responseTelegram.status_code == 200:
print("Sent UPDATE message to Telegram channel1")
else:
print("Error sending update message to Telegram channel1:", responseTelegram.text)
if responseDiscord.status_code == 200:
print("Sent UPDATE message to Discord channel1")
else:
print("Error sending update message to Discord channel1:", responseDiscord.text)
responseTelegram = requests.get(f"https://api.telegram.org/bot{username}/message", params={"chat_id": telegram_channel3_id, "text": f"\\nCurrent time: {datetime.now()}"})
responseDiscord = requests.get(f"https://discord.com/api/users/{username}_{discord_channel_id}.html")
if responseTelegram.status_code == 200:
print("Sent UPDATE message to Telegram channel2")
else:
print("Error sending update message to Telegram channel2:", responseTelegram.text)
if responseDiscord.status_code == 200:
print("Sent UPDATE message to Discord channel3")
else:
print("Error sending update message to Discord channel3:", responseDiscord.text)
# Wait for two seconds before next iteration
time.sleep(2)
else:
update_dyndns()
`
Make sure your DynDNS server has a /api/timezone/now
endpoint and that you have enabled the DynDNS Update API
in your DynDNS account settings. Also, be aware of any usage limits or restrictions for this service.
By sending an update message to all three Telegram channels along with the relevant output lines every two seconds, you can ensure the DynDNS server updates are being applied correctly.
To monitor the script's progress and adjust its execution time according to your needs, note down the command where the script is currently run. You'll be able to add it inside a cron job at least. Use `
bash`
for simple adjustments.
Do not use any third party python modules or anything that makes long-lived imports if you can do else as this will end with error.
Note: This code assumes your DynDNS server's timezone settings match the current UTC time set through the /api/timezone/now` endpoint in your DynDNS account. If your timezone offset differs, consider adding some timezone-specific delays to ensure correct updates are applied.
In case you encounter unexpected problems or errors while running this script, refer to the relevant DynDNS API documentation and your Telegram channel's Discord help section for specific guides on resolving issues.
