ddclient - DNS record updating
Note: RPM at smeserver.free.fr works with SME 8
ddclient is a client for updating dynamic DNS entries for domains hosted at different DNS providers.
Use this contrib when you have a sme server connected to a ISP service using a dynamic IP, and you wish to host multiple domains.
This page provides a link to an externally hosted ddclient contrib for sme7.x
Download the latest rpm version from
http://smeserver.free.fr/Files/index.php?dir=sme7/
to an empty folder eg /tmp
Alternatively use the wget command shown below.
The currently available rpm is:
sme7-ddclient-3.7.3-7.noarch.rpm
Then cd to that folder and install the rpm (change the rpm name in the following command to match the latest available version)
cd /tmp wget http://smeserver.free.fr/Files/sme7/sme7-ddclient-3.7.3-7.noarch.rpm yum localinstall sme7-ddclient*.rpm
There is no need to run the signal-event post-upgrade and reboot commands.
A new panel will be added to the server manager.
Use this panel to configure domain records you wish to keep updated with your dynamic IP using the ddclient contrib
if you want to remove this contribs :
yum remove sme7-ddclient
after you can type this
signal-event post-upgrade && signal-event reboot
