Free Dynamic DNS with DuckDNS!

- It seems like I am the last person on the planet to hear about DuckDNS.org -- but if you happen to be the other person who isn't using it, that can change today. DuckDNS is free, it doesn't expire, and it's very simple to use. In this video I just give a quick demo of how it works for me.
SO EASY, thank you for this explanation! I had gone down the rabbit hole of bash scripts too, which is fine in some cases, but if I'm going to do IT at home I try to avoid as much technical debt as possible.
The mandatory OAUTH is a deal breaker for me. O-ther then that, it looks great.
I've been using duckdns for some time, but i learned something 🆕 today, the trick with the CName. Thanks 🙏
i don't know why i never thought about that before. it seems obvious looking at it now.
Cool! I'm happy it was useful! :)
@@shawnp0wersSo I set up DuckDNS. The problem I'm running into, on Windows, is once set up, the token is only good for that one user. Unless I login first, it won't run on my wife's account. DuckDNS runs as a service, but the token is individual to the user account. Any solutions?
Thanks sir, that’s exactly what i was looking for :)
the trick with CNAME is wonderful thanks man
Cool you dyed your hair again!
Great content, and you even showed dig's results
do i still need to port forward my HA server though port :8123? Thats where I am having issues.
Thank you!
man 😅pradon me .. but it felt like Donald Duck🦆 giving tutorial on ducky dns..🤭 btw thanks for such informative videos
Very useful, nice personality. and ambiance. Sub++
Cool, I used to Use DDns servers..
will duckdns only works if you have public ip?
You know... I don't know. I think probably because part of the process is detecting your public IP. That is an interesting use case though, just having an internal IP mapped to a public DNS name for internal purposes.
I'm pretty sure it will detect your public IP though, and not assign a private one. Sort of by design. In my upcoming book I actually wrote a system for dynamic DNS using Linux commandline utilities, but sadly it's not out. Hang on, I'll see if I can dig up a link to a Linux Journal article I wrote about it...

sorry no hate thanks for video
you said you did your own. how did you go about getting your public facing ip address? I have used google or different websites but is there a cli that returns only the public IP?
Generally it requires an outside look. I'll make a quick video on the script I whipped up to get my public IP. Alternately, "curl ifconfig.me" will return your public IP.
@@shawnp0wers great, that helps a lot. my dynamic IP is pretty stable and only changes 3-4 time a year. and most times i am home when i discover that, but in September it changed when i was away. and i could have manually changed it on my dns server. the problem was i did not know: a) it had changed until i went to access something, b)what the new IP was. even if i don't subscribe to a dynamic dns service this info will allow me to make a script to email me when the IP changes. I know the DDNS service would be easier, but I can learn more this way.
Any way to do this for the Apex record. I want to point a non sub domain to a DDNS
In order to do that, you probably have to use a DDNS system that will integrate directly with your DNS provider. The naked/apex/root domain name *has* to be an A record, it can't be a CNAME. (Some providers will allow you to enter a CNAME record, but they just "flatten" it behind the scenes and actually enter an A record -- I'm not sure if they ever update that "flattening", so it's not as smooth as a subdomain)
@@shawnp0wers thanks. I’m with go daddy and duckdns and not having much luck
Ugh, sorry I’m not more help. :(
great explainer video! horrible green hair.
