ddclient + no-ip
Install ddclient Dynamic DNS Client on Linux
wget http://cdn.dyndns.com/ddclient.tar.gz
tar -xzvf ddclient.tar.gz
cd ddclient-3.7.3/
mkdir /etc/ddclient
mkdir /var/cache/ddclient
cp ddclient /usr/local/sbin
cp sample-etc_ddclient.conf /etc/ddclient
/ddclient.conf
cp sample-etcrc.dinit.d_ddclient /etc/rc.d/init.d
/ddclient
chkconfig --add ddclient
cd ..
rm -rf ddclient-3.7.3/
Configuring with no-ip
Now edit the /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf file:
vim /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf
use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.com/, web-skip='IP Address'
protocol=dyndns2
server=dynupdate.no-ip.com
login=yourusername
password=yourpassword
your_domain.com
Now start the ddclient daemon:
/etc/init.d/ddclient start
You can check status and troubleshoot using:
/etc/init.d/ddclient status
/etc/init.d/ddclient stop
tail /var/log/messages
