UnofficialDDNSnix

=================

UnofficialDDNSnix is a CentOS 6, Debian 6, and Debian 7 service which provides dynamic DNS for regular registrars. Instead of signing up with a dynamic DNS provider and creating a CNAME record at your registrar to point to your dynamic DNS (for example: homeserver.mydomain.com -> alfred1986.dynamicdnsprovider.info), UnofficialDDNS cuts out the middle man and creates A records directly.

Supported Registrars

--------------------

Currently **Name.com** is the only supported registrar. Go to https://www.name.com/reseller to apply for an API token.

UnofficialDDNSnix needs the following:

* Name.com user name.

* Password (API token).

* The (sub)domain which will point to your server.

It might take a couple of days to get a reply from their customer support with your token.

Supported Platforms

-------------------

Both 32 and 64-bit versions of the following operating systems are supported:

* CentOS 6

* Debian 6 (squeeze)

* Debian 7 (wheezy)

Usage

-----

Just install the package, edit **/etc/UnofficialDDNS.yaml** with your user/password/domain, and run **service UnofficialDDNS start**. Look at logs in **/var/UnofficialDDNS/** to make sure it started without any errors.
