# name-dyndns [](https://travis-ci.org/mfycheng/name-dyndns) [](https://godoc.org/github.com/mfycheng/name-dyndns) 
|
|
Client that automatically updates name.com DNS records.
|
|
|
|
## Getting name-dyndns
|
|
|
|
Since name-dyndns has no external dependencies, you can get it simply by:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
go get github.com/mfycheng/name-dyndns.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
In order to use name-dyndns, you must have an API key from name.com, which
|
|
can be requested from https://www.name.com/reseller/apply.
|
|
|
|
Once you have your API key, all you must do is setup `config.json`. An example
|
|
`config.json` file can be found in `api/config_test.json`.
|
|
|
|
## Command Line Arguments
|
|
|
|
By default, running name-dyndns will run a one-time update, using `./config.json`
|
|
as a configuration file, and stdout as a log output. However, these can be configured. For example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./name-dyndns -daemon=true -dev=true -log="/var/log/name-dyndns/out.log" -config="~/name_config.json"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will run name-dyndns in daemon mode for dev configurations, outputting to `/var/log/name-dyndns/out.log`, using the configuration file `~/name_config.json`
|
|
|
|
A detailed usage can be found by running:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./name-dyndns --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Error Handling
|
|
|
|
Currently, there is limited testing, primarily on name-api dependant utilities.
|
|
While error handling _should_ be done gracefully, not every edge case has been tested.
|
|
|
|
Ideally, when running in daemon mode, name-dyndns tries to treat any errors
|
|
arising from network as transient failures, and tries again next iteration. The idea behind this is that a single network failure shouldn't
|
|
kill the daemon, which could then potentially result in having the DNS records out
|
|
of sync, which would defeat the whole point of name-dyndns.
