#START NO IP DUC LINUX INSTALL#
# 1) Install binary (results in /usr/local/bin) This varies depending on what Linux distribution you are running. Now you will configure the client for your no-ip web service. when you start it, it creates another process that runs in background (so called forking) and the foreground process immediately returns (exits). run 'duc ui' command to open a ncurses based console user interface for exploring the file system usage and run 'duc gui' to start a graphical (X11) interface to explore. systemctl enable -now unit enable and start in one go systemctl disable -now unit disable and stop in one go Update Some research revealed the noip2 runs as a daemon, i.e. So installing Duc on DEB-based systems is a piece of cake.
#START NO IP DUC LINUX HOW TO#
Read the README file in the no-ip-2.1.9 folder for instructions on how to make the client run at startup. Hit enter three times to accept the name and descriptions for the program. Duc is available in the default repositories of Debian and its derivatives such as Ubuntu. Simply issue this final command to launch the client in the background: /usr/local/bin/noip2 now we need to put this script to start up level. put this start to /etc/init.d/ directory. Follow below steps: make one shell script (which execute your application) eg. Now that the client is installed and configured, you just need to launch it. There is System-V link in linux which enables script execution on different startup level. Be careful, one of the questions is “Do you wish to update ALL hosts.” If answered incorrectly, this could effect hostnames in your account that are pointing at other locations. You will then be prompted for your No-IP username and password, as well as the hostnames you wish to update. You will need to install these in order to proceed.Īs root again (or with sudo) issue the below command: /usr/local/bin/noip2 -C (dash capital C, this will create the default config file) If you get “make not found” or “missing gcc” then you do not have the gcc compiler tools on your machine. You will then be prompted to log in with your No-IP account username and password. Once you have opened your Terminal window, log in as the “root” user. Command Line Interface, Quick & Easy Setup, Widely Compatible, Auto Host List Download, Runs When Logged Out, Open Source. Dynamic DNS Update Client continually checks for IP address changes in the background and automatically updates the DNS at No-IP whenever it changes. This command starts the client, which reads the configuration file ( /etc/nf ) that you created earlier and updates the IP address for the public DNS. Keep your current IP address in sync with your No-IP host or domain with Dynamic Update Client (DUC).
