DDClient is a Perl based IP update client for *nix based systems including Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X. It supports operating as a daemon as well as optimizes updates for multiple hostnames and aliases. Installation It comes pre-installed on most distributions and we recommend that you use the installed version unless you really need the latest version. In case of Debian based systems, you can use apt-get install ddclient to install it.

Be sure to put all the parameters in the configuration file before running DDClient. You can run DDClient as /usr/sbin/ddclient -daemon 300 -syslog which ensures that it is in daemon mode. If you think your configuration is correct, but DDClient does not work as expected, you can enable debug and verbose messages by running ddclient -daemon=0 -debug -verbose -noquiet Configuration DDClient requires a configuration file with appropriate settings to function. Below is a sample configuration which updates IP address for third level hostname MYDOMAIN.DYNU.COM. # ddclient configuration for Dynu # # /etc/ddclient.conf daemon=60 # Check every 60 seconds. Syslog=yes # Log update msgs to syslog. Mail=root # Mail all msgs to root.

System Requirements DDClient requires Perl and can run on Unix, Linux and BSD variants such as FreeBSD and Mac OS X. Through DDClient can perform updates in insecure mode, we recommend using SSL to perform updates. Please ensure SSL is installed on your distribution. Please note that in case of debian, you need libio-socket-ssl-perl to have IO::Socket::SSL. You can install it by running sudo apt-get install libio-socket-ssl-perl. Notes We recommend running DDClient as a daemon or schedule a cron job to run it at regular intervals to ensure full IP address update coverage at all times.

I signed up to this forum because I am kinda novice level with linux a the moment. I am getting better but nowhere near as much as I'd like to be. I set up my pi as a NAS using 'vsftpd', set up the ssh and thought I was ready to rock. Until I realised that the static IP of my home router keeps changing.

I discovered 'Inadyn' and thought my troubles were over. Only I cant get it to start automatically on boot and have no idea where to start looking.

I heard about running a script but that was confusing. Any help my way would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for rambling.
