Namecheap DDNS

Docker Hub Page

This container is available on unRAID community Applications

This simple container will automatically update a namecheap dynamic dns domain through GET requests. This container checks your public IP every 3 seconds and sends an update if a change is detected.

You MUST provide the required enviroment variables: APP_HOST, APP_DOMAIN, and APP_PASSWORD. You MUST create an 'A + Dynamic DNS' record for the host which you wish to update and enable Dynamic DNS in the manage page of your domain. Your APP_PASSWORD must be your Dynamic DNS password from namecheap and NOT your Namecheap password.

For more info see the Namecheap help page.

Usage:

docker run \
-e APP_HOST='your host' \
-e APP_DOMAIN='your domain' \
-e APP_PASSWORD='your ddns password' \
edchamberlain/namecheap_ddns:latest

Usage (optional args):

docker run \
-e APP_HOST='your host' \
-e APP_DOMAIN='your domain' \
-e APP_PASSWORD='your ddns password' \
-e APP_UPDATE_TIME='time between updates, e.g: '60'' \
-e APP_LOG_LEVEL='Log Level'
edchamberlain/namecheap_ddns:latest

To pass multiple domains, hosts, or passwords you can use a semi-colon seperated list. For example to update host1 and host2 of myDomain you would need to pass:

...
-e APP_HOST='host1;host2' \
-e APP_DOMAIN='myDomain;myDomain' \
-e APP_PASSWORD='myPassword;myPassword' \
...

Note: the repetition of both myDomain and myPassword. You must include the same number of each parameter - repetition is allowed.
