vultr-ddns

This package was created out of the need to add multiple subdomains and update my dynamic public ip address to point to my home server

Heavily inspired by andyjsmith/Vultr-Dynamic-DNS, I basically rewrote it node and created a service around it

Features

• Can monitor a list of domains to be updated
• Can monitor multiple subdomains
• You can exclude a list of sub domains to be updated per domain
• It only works on A records – only IPv4

Configuration

The cli helps you setup the config if you don't have one, it generates a config.yml file in the same directory as the service, you can find an example config in config.example.yml

- domain: corona.me
  apiKey: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
  checkInterval: "* * * * *"
  records:
    - france
    - paris.france
    - lyon.france
  excludeList:
    - london
    - amsterdam

The above config will monitor the domain corona.me once every minute for the subdomains france, paris.france and lyon.france. It will exclude london and amsterdam

Setup

1. Install dependecies npm install
2. Run the cli to help you configure it or create a configuration file in the same directory named config.yml

$ npm run config
