exactly. I literally have a bash script that calls the API triggered by cron every 30 minutes. That’s it. Are people seriously using a freaking docker container for this?
Ah, a history would be nice. I’ve been thinking of keeping some stats to monitor when the connection goes down, and how often my IP changes.
Fortunately I’ve kept the same IP since i changed ISPs a few months ago.
Personally I still think docker is overkill for something that can be done with a bash script. But I also use a Pi 4 as my home server, so I need to be a little more scrupulous of CPU and RAM and storage than most :-)
Any registrar worth using has an API for updating DNS entries.
I just found this with a quick search: https://github.com/qdm12/ddns-updater

It’s easy to set up and also keeps a history

I would recommend OVH for DNS, they have an API and are on the list for that tool. Also you can use the API to get lets encrypt certificates
Looks good. Thanks!
