nsupdate.info is a dynamic DNS service that allows you to associate a domain name with a dynamic IP address. If you're running MXLinux Latest and want to install nsupdate.info, here is a tutorial to help you.
To follow this tutorial, you'll need:
Before installing nsupdate.info, you need to set up your account. Follow these steps:
Open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ddclient
Open the ddclient configuration file by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/ddclient.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
use=web, web=dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com/getip
protocol=dyndns2
server=www.nsupdate.info
login=your@nsupdate.info-account
password='your_api_key'
yourdomain.nsupdate.info
Replace your@nsupdate.info-account with the email address you used to create your nsupdate.info account, and replace your_api_key with the API key you generated in step 1. Replace yourdomain with the domain name you want to associate with your dynamic IP address.
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl-X, then Y, then Enter.
Run the following command to start the ddclient service:
sudo service ddclient start
You have successfully installed nsupdate.info on MXLinux Latest. Your domain name should now be associated with your dynamic IP address. If you ever change your IP address, ddclient will automatically update nsupdate.info with the new address.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
