Installing the client
I created an account and registered a domain called
pi.craftx.biz
. It automatically
detected my public IP and set the
A
record of the domain accordingly.
Use
http://mxtoolbox.com
to verify changes to domain name
records. It also has several other useful tools.
Once you have created a dynamic DNS account, you can install the client on the Pi.
sudo apt-get install ddclient
Follow the onscreen instructions. If you are unsure of any question, you may press
enter to omit it, as we will manually edit the configuration file later for fine-tuning.
Go to
/etc
and edit the file:
ddclient.conf
.
#
# Configuration file for ddclient

syslog=yes # log update msgs to syslog
