Automatically Update IP Address
The public IP address is issued via DHCP and might be changed by the ISP so need to monitor this and update the IP address on DynuDNS as required. Setup a CRON job to do this automatically:
-
In Proxmox node (pve) select >_Shell
crontab -e-
Add following command to the file:
1
/15 * * * * wget -O dynulog -4 "https://api.dynu.com/nic/update?hostname=bsquared.webredirect.org&myip=10.0.0.0&myipv6=no&username=bsquared&password=8135b9df6e6036e71fa8ee493a89da50"
- Every 15 mins, of every hour, of every day, of every month, of every year. This command executes a wget (web GET) writing the output to the dynulog file, for the IPv4 protocol only. It uses the domain name, IP address = 10.0.0.0 forces change to current IP address of server (???), with username from above. Rather than send the password in plain, it is a MD5 hash of the password. This can be done through the DynuDNS website (link)

-
The command can be tested by just running the wget command in the shell, then run a
cat dynulogcommand to list the output. Will get a good with the updated IP address, or nochg if the address is unchanged
