GDU | Generic DNS Update Build Status

A cross-platform tool to update DNS zonefiles (such as Gandi.net) when you have a dynamic public IP address.

It's a DynDNS or equivalent alternative, available for several OS and configured by command line parameters.

For developpers, it's written in Rust and can be easily extended to add new DNS providers or new ways to detect your public IP address.

Features

  • Detect your public IP address

    • By HTTP
    • By DNS lookup

  • Create or update your DNS provider zonefiles to associate to public IP address with an A or AAAA DNS record.

    • Gandi.net
    • Other providers

  • Run on several OS:

    • Linux x86_64
    • Linux ARMv6 and more, such as Raspberry PI all models, including PI2
    • Windows 32/64 bits
    • OS X
