cd netlify-dynamic-dns
go run ./cmd -accesstoken xxx -zone example.com -record home| Flag | Environment Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| access-token | NDDNS_ACCESS_TOKEN | Your Netlify personal access token. Can be created at here | |
| zone | NDDNS_ZONE | example.com | The Netlify DNS zone domain name |
| record | NDDNS_RECORD | home | The record in the DNS zone to set as your public IP |
| ipv6 | NDDNS_IPv6_ENABLED | true | Whether the IPv6 record (AAAA) should also be updated |
| interval | NDDNS_INTERVAL | 0 | The amount of minutes between sending updates. If 0 only a single update is done. |
If you would like a custom TTL value, create an existing record (you can set anything in the IP field) and then the application will use it when recreating the record.
Netlify Dynamic DNS uses the OpenDNS resolver to determine your public IP. The resolver has a feature which echoes the clients IP address when you lookup myip.opendns.com. This lookup is done both over IPv4 and IPv6 to determine both public IP's then using the Netlify OpenAPI Client the old DNS records are removed and new ones are created with your latest public IP.
