This is a simple dynamic DNS updater for the
|
|
[Gandi](https://www.gandi.net) registrar. It uses their REST API to update
|
|
the zone file for a subdomain of a domain name to point at the external IPv4
|
|
address of the computer it has been run from.
|
|
|
|
It has been developed and tested on Debian 8 Jessie GNU/Linux using Python 2.7.
|
|
|
|
This DynDNS updater is inspired by https://github.com/jasontbradshaw/gandi-dyndns which worked very well
|
|
with the classic DNS from Gandi v4Website and their XML-RPC API.
|
|
With the new v5 Website, Gandi has also launched a
|
|
new REST API which makes it easier to communicate via bash/curl or python/requests.
|
|
|
|
### Walkthrough
|
|
|
|
You want your homeserver to be always available at `dynamic.mydomain.tld`.
|
|
|
|
#### API Key
|
|
First, you must apply for an API key with Gandi. Visit
|
|
https://account.gandi.net/en/ and apply for (at least) the production API
|
|
key by following their directions.
|
|
|
|
#### A Record Setup
|
|
Create the DNS A Records in the GANDI Webinterface which you want to update if your IP changes.
|
|
|
|
#### Script Configuration
|
|
Then you'd need to configure the script.
|
|
|
|
Copy `example.config.py` to `config.py`, and put it in the same directory
|
|
as the script.
