This script, dyndns.py, is a python script that automatically updates a subdomain in your Domain Manager on your Linode account with the current IP address. This script was designed to be executed from a cronjob. It can also be executed on it's own and it will update the appropriate settings.
Package requires:
- python-pycurl
- python >= 2.6
- argparse (
pip install argparseif python < 2.7)
./dyndns.py -ak your_api_key -dn example.org -sd foo
This will create a subdomain 'foo.example.org' that points to your existing IP address on the machine that it is executed from.
1.) If you get the error message, using urllib instead of pycurl, urllib does
not verify SSL remote certificates, there is a risk of compromised
communication
You'll need to install pycurl.
2.) If you get the error message, api.ApiError: [{u'ERRORCODE': 4,
u'ERRORMESSAGE': u'Authentication failed'}]
Double check your API key, as Linode was unable to authenticate your key.
