The purpose of this container is to update DNS zone records using Gandi's LiveDNS (http://doc.livedns.gandi.net/) with your WAN IP.
This image is extremely lightweight (Alpine Linux based) and has very few dependencies. The actual DNS update program is coded in shell script only.
Warning : update scripts have been updated to use Gandi's Personal Access Tokens (PATs).
You need to create a new Personal Access Token for this application, with at least the "Manage domain name technical configurations" premissions. See https://api.gandi.net/docs/authentication/
Mandatory variables:
- GANDI_PAT: your Gandi Personal Acces Token (be sure to enable "Manage domain name technical configurations")
- APIKEY: deprecated provided for backward compatibility. Value will be used as GANDI_PAT if provided
- DOMAIN: your Gandi domain
- RECORD_LIST: DNS records to update separated by ";"
Optional variables :
- REFRESH_INTERVAL: Delay between updates in seconds (default: 10mn)
- TTL: Set Time To Live for records (default: 300)
- SET_IPV4: Update A record (default: yes)
- SET_IPV6: Update AAAA record (default: no)
- FORCE_IPV4: Force the IPv4 address to be used in DNS A records
- FORCE_IPV6: Force the IPv6 address to be used in DNS AAAA records
The easiest way to run gandi-livedns is simply to docker run it from a computer in your network, leaving it running in the background with all the default settings.
docker run -d \
-e "GANDI_PAT=<YOUR_VERY_SECRET_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
-e "RECORD_LIST=blog;www;@" \
-e "DOMAIN=your-gandi-hosted-domain.com" \
jbbodart/gandi-livedns
This will update blog.your-gandi-hosted-domain.com, www.your-gandi-hosted-domain.com, and your-gandi-hosted-domain.com with your internet-facing IP (IPv4) every 10 minutes
An equivalent setup using docker-compose could look like this:
docker-compose.yml
version: '3.7'
...
services:
...
dyndns:
image: jbbodart/gandi-livedns
restart: unless-stopped
env_file:
- "dyndns.env"
