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

  Warning:
If you have this contrib installed and you happen to run yum upgrade using the smecontribs repository on your server, watch out! There is a smeserver-ddclient package that would get installed as an upgrade to this package and will cause some trouble !


if you want to remove this contribs :

yum remove sme7-ddclient

after you can type this

signal-event post-upgrade && signal-event reboot
