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.png 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 and this seems to be conflicting with this package !


if you want to remove this contribs :

yum remove sme7-ddclient

after you can type this

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