A dynamic DNS client for Netlify's Managed DNS service. It is a simple command line tool that retrieves your public IP and sets it to a DNS record using the Netlify API.

Click Here to go to the Github Releases and download the correct installer for your platform. Alternatively, it can be run using Docker.

docker run oscartbeaumont/netlify-dynamic-dns:latest updater --access-token={Personal Access Token}

Netlify Dynamic DNS has two modes it can be used in. When calling the binary use the following format.

netlify-ddns [MODE] [FLAGS]

In update mode, the dynamic DNS will run once and then exit. This is good for use with a cron job or when you just want to manually update the DNS record.

netlify-ddns update --access-token={Personal Access Token}

In updater mode, the dynamic DNS will automatically update on an interval. This will continue until the application is terminated. This is good for running in a daemon.

netlify-ddns updater --access-token={Personal Access Token}

To use this application you must first get an access token from Netlify. This allows the application to talk to the Netlify API on behalf of your account. To do that please go to the Netlify OAuth applications page and create a new Personal access token.

Netlify Dynamic DNS uses ident.me to determine the public IPv4 and IPv6 of the server and then talks to the Netlify API to create an A and AAAA record for those addresses. If duplicate DNS entries are detected they will be removed.

To work on the codebase, use the following commands.

git clone https://github.com/oscartbeaumont/netlify-dynamic-dns.git
go run ./cmd
