Dynamic Dns Cli GO app

Overview

The Dynamic DNS CLI (DdnsCli) is a command-line tool built in Go for managing Dynamic DNS updates using the Name.com API. The tool helps to ensure that your domain's DNS records are kept up-to-date with your current IP address.

Workflow

• Regularly checks the current IP address from my webservice.
• Compares it with the existing A record in DNS.
• Updates the record if there is a mismatch.
• Waits 5 minutes before checking again if the IP addresses match.

Setup

Before running the application, ensure that you create a .env file in the root directory of your project with the following content:

APIUSERNAME="yourname.com_api_username"
APITOKEN="yourname.com_api_token"
DOMAIN="your domain address"
ID="id_of_your_dns_field"

Installation

git clone github.com/mugund10/dynamicdns
