This script sets the DynHost service (that must be created before, check https://docs.ovh.com/gb/en/domains/hosting_dynhost/) with your current public IP that is retrieved from ipify.org API (default, can be overridden).
Install the script using pip (I strongly suggest to use a virtualenv)
pip install .
(The script will be now available in the PATH. Reactivate the virtualenv if necessary)
PS: The script is also available directly on PyPI.
pip install ovh_dynhost
- Sets the
home.mydomain.comhost to your current public IP retrieved from (SSL) ipify.org usingmyusernameandmypasswordas credentials.
ovh-dynhost home.mydomain.com myusername mypassword
- Sets the
0.0.0.0IP instead of the current public IP
ovh-dynhost --ip=0.0.0.0 home.mydomain.com myusername mypassword
- Use the (unencrypted, check the
http://instead ofhttps://) API from whatismyipaddress.com
ovh-dynhost --pub-ip-source=http://bot.whatismyipaddress.com home.mydomain.com myusername mypassword
- Same as first but logging also into
ovh.logfile
ovh-dynhost --log-file=ovh.log home.mydomain.com myusername mypassword
If your prefer to not show up your username or password in the shell, you can provide a separate JSON configuration file. By default the script will lookup into $HOME/.ovh-dyndns.conf, but you can also provide a custom configuration file
ovh-dynhost home.mydomain.com --conf-file=/etc/ovh-dyndns/config.json
