DNS-O-Matic add-on

Heretoday, I had the identical results in my log. Changed my path in settings.json (put the exact path) and it worked. I did not investigate the permissioning.

yachtman,

Thanks for the response. One follow on question - where is the settings.json file? I haven't heard of this one before.

HereToday,

My mistake. Settings.json is used for Transmission (have too many config files in my head). The config file for DNS-O-Matic (which I think you already know) is:

#/c/addons-scripts/DnsOMatic/dnsomatic

Here is mine (unedited sections removed):

titanium:/c/addons-scripts/DnsOMatic# cat dnsomatic 
#!/bin/bash
HOSTNAME="all.dnsomatic.com"
USER="..."
PASS="..."
.....
#IP=$(`which curl` -s http://myip.dnsomatic.com/)
IP=$(/usr/local/bin/curl -s http://myip.dnsomatic.com/)
#IP=$(curl -s http://myip.dk/ | egrep -m1 -o '[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}')
.....
RETURN=$(/usr/local/bin/curl -k -s https://${USER}:${PASS}@updates.dnsomatic.com/nic/update?hostname=${HOSTNAME}&myip=$IP&wildcard=NOCHG&mx=NOCHG&backmx=NOCHG)
.....

But make sure that the locations above are the actual locations for 'curl'. You can do a '#which curl' for it. I can't figure out why super-poussin's original code didn't work for me, but the mod made it goo.

ytachman

if you do this in command line :

IP=$(`which curl` -s http://myip.dnsomatic.com/)
echo $ IP

what is the result ?

super-poussin,

The command results in my correct ip.

However, if I modify the script with the following additional lines, the log results reveal that the commands don't seem to get the path from within the script?

#/c/addons-scripts/DnsOMatic/dnsomatic

IP=$(`which curl` -s http://myip.dnsomatic.com/)                                                         
IP2=$(/usr/local/bin/curl -s http://myip.dnsomatic.com/)                                                 
WI=$('which curl')                                                                                       
                                                                                                         
echo $IP ": = IP address with which curl" >> $LOGFILE                                                    
echo $WI ": = which curl path" >> $LOGFILE                                                               
echo $IP2 ": = IP with full path" >> $LOGFILE                                                            
  

From the logfile:

: = IP address with which curl
: = which curl path
218.186.45.146 : = IP with full path

ok will publish a 2.0 with fixed path

yacthman,

That did the trick. I also ran the code you had and saw the same thing...the path wasn't getting passed to the variable even though the location was correct from the #which curl command.

super-poussin,

Great add-on. One which I will definitely upgrade to 2.0 once released. I also plan to donate. Thank you for your hard work on this one.

2.0 is out :)

Hi

I'm new with the readyNAS so please forgive my ignorance.

I have downloaded and installed the DNS-O-Matic addon and toggled SSH. I also have installed PuTTy on my Vista PC. However, I have not been able to log into mt ReadyNAS Duo to edit the /addons-scripts/DnsOMatic/dnsomatic file to add my user name and password.

Could someone please post a step by step idiots guide to this process for me as a complete newbie to anything linux based.

If there already is one please give me a link as my searches have been unsucessful

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I have the Dns-O-Matic addon installed and it isn't updating to the dns-o-matic severs. Where do I find the dns-o-matic logs on the ReadyNAS so I can find out where it is failing? Do any ports need to be opened on a firewall, I persume it sends updates out over port 80.
