how to add no-ip client to ReadyNAS ?

Good afternoon guys!
I recently bought a readyNAS duo + 2x1TB seagates in it and am completely impressed by this machine's capabilities and convenience. Previously i had an Athlon machine with raid disks to do the dirty work and .. believe me, it almost cost me 25euros/month to keep a 24/7 uptime. Anyway i think its the best buy for home-office level use from value-for-money view and data-safety view.
Well .. back to business.
I've seen some posts about an unofficiall addon concerning No-Ip support. is there any chance to have too? :)
I'm not such an expirienced unix user but i can make my "way" there, but a usefull guide with the addon wont hurt anyone!
thank you in advance!

PS. is there any vault for unofficial add-ons appart the officiall addon section at readynas.com?

I will publish a new version quickly

I too would like to see a addon for this.

try this :

Thanks! Two quick things.

Is there a way to check through SSH that it's running? I've tried running /usr/local/no-ip -S and it tells me it can't find the configuration file in /usr/local/etc/.... This directory wasn't created with the addon installation but if I create it and add copy the no-ip2.conf file from /etc, it will give me the status. When I do this, it tells me that no-ip was started by running no-ip -c /etc/no-ip2.conf . So it looks like you've coded into the addon that the configuration file should be in /etc/, but why not use the default no-ip directory structure so that the status commands, and others, will run out of the box?

The other thing I wanted to ask is if it's actually necessary to leave the username and password in the text box after no-ip was started the first time (I assume once the .conf file is made that it doesnt' need to be updated every time). It would be nice to not leave my password in plain text.

Thanks again for putting together this addon - manually updating no-ip is such a pain :)

try to reboot :) the it should be ok

I understand the security concern I can make it replace letters by . but it will not be easy to check if everything is ok before apply

can you check the no-ip.log in /media/ ?

if does not exist please disable no ip addons and enable it :)

I can view the no-ip.log and every time I disable and enable the addon, it adds a couple of lines about creating the config file.

Still the only way to check the status with no-ip -S is by copying the config file to /usr/local/etc, even after a reboot.

the addons do a /usr/local/no-ip/no-ip -S /etc/no-ip2.conf

It looks like the addon is doing a /usr/local/no-ip/no-ip -c /etc/no-ip2.conf, which starts the service with the configuration file specified in /etc/no-ip2.conf. However, a /usr/local/no-ip -S /etc/no-ip2.conf doesn't appear to be a valid construct. /usr/local/no-ip -S looks for a configuration file in /usr/local/etc and then displays the configuration and shows it is running:


1 no-ip process active.

Process 1380, started as no-ip -c /etc/no-ip2.conf, <version 2.1.9>
Using configuration from /etc/no-ip2.conf
Last IP Address set xx.xx.xx.xx
Account someone@somewhere.com
configured for:
host somewhere.outthere.com
Updating every 45 minutes via /dev/eth0 with NAT enabled.

Configuration data from /usr/local/etc/no-ip2.conf
Account someone@somewhere.com
configured for:
host somewhere.outthere.com
Updating every 45 minutes via /dev/eth0 with NAT enabled.


So, it's clearly setup properly and running fine. My only question was why you are pointing to /etc/ for your configuration file instead of the default /usr/local/etc since no-ip seems to be looking there for the file. As long as I have a configuration where it is looking for one, it will show me all of the configurations on the machine.
