Hand-rolled dynamic DNS in Rust

Client and server applications to support dynamic DNS for your registrar of choice.

ddns is divided into three different packages: external_server, gateway_server, and client. To use ddns you will need to run one of the two server binaries as well as the client binary.

The external server binary is intended to be run on separate hardware outside of your private network. This is useful for network configurations where you cannot run software on your gateway device. The external server responds to all requests with the IP address of the remote host.

See more details in the external_server package README.md.

The gateway server binary is intended to be run on your gateway device, which requires that you have the ability to run arbitrary software on this device. The gateway server responds to all requests with the IP address of one of its network interfaces.

See more details in the gateway_server package README.md.

The client binary can be run on any device that can communicate with the device running the server and your domain name registrar. The client makes periodic requests to the server, checking for an updated IP address. When an IP address update is detected, the client makes requests against your registrar to update any DNS records you have configured.

See more details in the client package README.md.
