Dynamic DNS with the Pi

[recantha]

New Blog post about setting up your Pi with ddclient and a dynamic DNS server so you can host your own website from your Pi behind your home router.

I've used ddclient with success. The only problem I found is that it used too much precious memory as it uses 'sleep' between scheduled ip checks. What I've done instead is use a python script that I can put in the cron to check checkip.dyndns.org at very regular intervals and update my DNS provider (zoneedit in this case). http://zoneclient.sourceforge.net/

I'm sure there must be other generic scripts out there that can do the same thing for other DNS providers.

Now _that's_ creative thinking. Thanks! Will grab that script when I get home!

If you have a Router supporting DDNS you can setup there, so you avoid installing one more thing on the Pi.

What are some routers that support this, that you recommend that will run out of the box?

You're replying to a post that's 1 year and 9 months old. So no surprises there.

What dynamic DNS service are you trying to use/abuse with your RPi?
