write a dyndns CGI frontend
a project by bmwiedemann
Updated almost 8 years ago. No love.

Using dynaname it is already possible to securely auto-update DNS records in a bind9, but this still needs a linux machine. This project is about building a CGI frontend for it that makes it a replacement for the discontinued dyndns.org service.

my CGI is now in github

It has the advantage of not needing any database and working stateless, meaning you can run the same CGI on 5 hosts behind HAProxy and it does not need to run on the DNS-server host, just reach its port 53

example CGI call: https://aw.zq1.de/cgi-bin/public/dyndnsupdate?hostname=test.d.zq1.de&myip=1.2.3.6&dnsserver=vm2b.zq1.de&key=test.d.zq1.de.+IN+KEY+0+3+165+lbHxnch9j6iFScnQzc3r9ta9PRslOsOaoGdB%2FYgT0jxKHOkyynJOjPYo+2Oc%2Fyx7ShovatqOkPnrW%2BX0VVLFr5A%3D%3D%0D%0A

      JFYI: https://github.com/lrupp/mydyndns does what I need at the moment. There is no GUI, but at least updating my own bind9 zones works for me with FritzBox a client.
