# 
Complete system to create your own dynamic DNS server.
Based on the dprandzioch project: https://github.com/dprandzioch/docker-ddns
## Description
PyDDNs is a complete solution, allows you to set up and manage their own dns, compatible with the dyndns2 protocol, the user can update his ip by web interface or using a compatible client for example ddclient.
### Screenshots
**VIDEO**: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALN9901EoyA&feature=youtu.be
### Prerequisites
Install git
Install docker - Dockerhttps://docs.docker.com/install/
Install docker-composer - https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/
**important**: if you use ubuntu 18 you should see the note at the end of this text
## Quick Start
**IMPORTANT**: If you are using PyDDNS v1 before updating, make a backup of the file docker-compose.yml
- Clone de proyect
- ```cd PyDDNS```
- copy the configuration file ```cp .env-demo .env```
- Edit the configuration file ```nano .env```
```
DOMAIN=ddns.demo.com <-- our domain
SHARED_SECRET=el@sadsadyS58 <-- password for internal API-REST
DATABASE_NAME=pyddns
DATABASE_USER=pyddns
DATABASE_PASS=PyDyn@m1cDNSP0s
DATABASE_HOST=postgres
DATABASE_PORT=5432
DJANGO_SU_NAME=admin
[email protected]
DJANGO_SU_PASSWORD=1234 <-- Password to default administrator
DJANGO_DEBUG=1
DJANGO_LOG_LEVEL=INFO
DJANGO_PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
OWN_ADMIN: 1 <-- 1 = all users can create subdomains, 0 = only the administrator can create subdomains
DNS_ALLOW_AGENT: ddclient3,ddclient <-- If you want to control by client, put their names separated by comma
WEB_PORT=80
DNS_PORT=53
```
- Install docker and docker-compose
- Start with command: `docker-compose up`
### Configuration of DNS
You need a subdomain for example: ddns.demo.com
Then you must create an **NS record** as follows:
ddns.demo.com IN NS X.X.X.X <-- SERVER PUBLIC IP (CHECK)
Example in bind9:
```
ddns.demo.com. IN A X.X.X.X
$ORIGIN ddns.demo.com.
@ IN NS ddns.demo.com.
```
### Create SSL certificate
As web today is almost required to have SSL the package is setup for that by default.
1. Create folder `mkdir -p data/certs/`
2. To generate a certificate do `openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout data/certs/https.key -out data/certs/https.crt`
3. Then send to your certificate authority and get the server.crt file back
4. Install the key and crt files into certificate store in `/data/certs`
### Running without SSL
It is not recomended to run without SSL but if you wish to
Edit `/config/nginx/mydjango.conf` and comment this line:
```
return 302 https://$host$request_uri;
```
### Edit static records or glue records
This is usefull for creating the @ A X.X.X.X that is needed from above.
Sometimes you wish to have some static records or change the zone file outside of what you can do via gui.
1. Enter the container console: `docker-compose exec ddns bash`
2. You must execute the following command, replacing the last attribute: `rndc freeze ddns.demo.com`
3. Edit the zone file: `data/bind-data/ddns.demo.com.zone`
4. Thaw the zone: `rndc thaw ddns.demo.com`
Add the A record line (change to your PUBLIC IP).
Your file will look something like this,
```
$ORIGIN .
$TTL 86400 ; 1 day
ddns.demo.com IN SOA localhost. root.localhost. (
75 ; serial
3600 ; refresh (1 hour)
900 ; retry (15 minutes)
604800 ; expire (1 week)
86400 ; minimum (1 day)
)
NS localhost.
A 1.2.3.4
$ORIGIN ddns.demo.com.
$TTL 60 ; 1 minute
```
### Friendly URL for the web interface
sometimes we want to have a friendly url for the web interface, in this case, you don't need edit static records or glue records.
For example, if you want to use myip.ddns.com for your web interface. Then you only need to create an A record in your DNS pointing to the public IP of PYDDNS.
Now you will have myip.demo.com for the web interface and ddns.demo.com for the dynamic dns service.
## Architecture
## DDNS clients
You can use any client compatible with the DynDNS2 protocol.
###### For Windows
I recommend using `DynDNS Simply Client`, you can download it here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/dyndnssimplycl/
###### For Linux and Mac OS X
I recommend using `ddclient`, basic configuration:
```
protocol=dyndns2
use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.com, web-skip='IP Address'
server=localhost.com
ssl=no
login=userdemo
password='userpassword'
yourdomain.ddns.demo.com
```
### Translation :us::es:
The system automatically detects the language of your browser.
If you want to add your translations you must follow the following steps:
1. Enter the container console: `docker-compose exec python bash`
2. You must execute the following command, replacing the last attribute: `python manage.py makemessages --locale es`
3. Edit the file: `appdata/pyddns/locale/XXXX/LC_MESSAGES/django.po`
4. Once the translations are finished, it must be compiled: `python manage.py compilemessages`
### Change default language
- open file --> nano ~/PyDDNS/appdata/pyddns/pyddns/settings.py
- change the variable in line 149/185 to --> LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en-En'
### TODO
Config default language in .env file
### Notes for Ubuntu 18 and later
On Ubuntu , port 53 is most likeley already busy with the systemd-resolve service.
To check this run this command.
```
sudo lsof -i :53
```
If the command shows that systemd-resolve then we need to change so that it does not bind the port. First, edit /etc/systemd/resolved.conf, and for DNS enter your dns server ip (1.1.1.1 for cloudflare or 8.8.8.8 for google).
```
[Resolve]
DNS=1.1.1.1
#FallbackDNS=
#Domains=
#LLMNR=no
#MulticastDNS=no
#DNSSEC=no
#DNSOverTLS=no
#Cache=no
DNSStubListener=no
#ReadEtcHosts=yes
```
Then link the file to etc
```
sudo ln -sf /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
```
And lastly reboot:
```
sudo reboot
```
