yum install ddclient<\/pre>\n
There are some dependencies, however all of them should be installable from mainstream repos:<\/p>\n
bash perl perl-Digest-SHA1 perl-Getopt-Long perl perl-IO-Socket-SSL shadow-utils systemd<\/p>\n
Now that ddclient and it\u2019s dependencies are installed it is time to edit it\u2019s config file \/etc\/ddclient.conf:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not bad idea to update \/etc\/hosts with new domain name:<\/p>\n
[root@easy ~]# cat \/etc\/hosts\r\n 127.0.0.1 localhost.locadomain localhost\r\n 127.0.0.1 customname.localdom customname\r\n 192.168.xxx.xxx $dynamicFQDN<\/pre>\n
With that out of the way, it is time to set up and enable system service:<\/p>\n
[root@easy ~]# systemctl enable ddclient.service\r\n[root@easy ~]# systemctl start ddclient\r\n[root@easy ~]# systemctl status ddclient\r\n \u25cf ddclient.service - A Perl Client Used To Update Dynamic DNS Loaded:\r\n loaded (\/usr\/lib\/systemd\/system\/ddclient.service; enabled; vendor\r\n preset: disabled)\r\n Active: active (running) since Sat 2017-07-01 21:47:42 IST; 2h 47min ago\r\n Main PID: 1629 (ddclient - slee)\r\n CGroup: \/system.slice\/ddclient.service\r\n \u2514\u25001629 ddclient - sleeping for 300 seconds\r\n\r\nJul 01 21:47:40 vger systemd[1]: Starting A Perl Client Used To Update\r\nDynamic DNS...\r\nJul 01 21:47:42 vger systemd[1]: Started A Perl Client Used To Update\r\nDynamic DNS.<\/pre>\n
You can test if it\u2019s working in couple ways. Noip.com dashboard will tell you if hostname is active<\/p>\n
After ports are forwarded you can try accessing any of the services running on the server, like Webmin!<\/p>\n
https:\/\/yourname.no-ip<\/p>\n
Third option is to check DNS records for your $dynamicFQDN:<\/p>\n
[root@easy ~]# nslookup $dynamicFQDN\r\n Server: 89.101.160.4\r\n Address: 89.101.160.4#53\r\n\r\nNon-authoritative answer:\r\n Name: $dynamicFQDN\r\n Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx<\/pre>\n
