{{Note box| As of Dec 2023 The original panel has not been updated to the latest options for ddclient, but the Server manager 2 panel has, see https://wiki.koozali.org/Server_Manager2 to install SM2. However the SM1 panel does work with the latest ddclient, but not all options are presented.}}

  −
Every 300s the contrib perform a check to verify if your ip has been changed to http://checkip.dyndns.org/.
  −
Do not try to decrease the time-out under of 300s else you could be blacklisted by providers
  −
 
  −
There are some of the services that you can use
     −
* ip.changeip.com
+
Alternatively you can use the "Custom" are on the Dynamic Clients panel to set the contrib up to update a dynamic DNS entry directly with out needing to have setup a domain.
−
* ipdetect.dnspark.com
  −
* checkip.dyndns.org:8245

If your provider of dynamic dns is not available in smeserver-ddclient, please raise {{BugzillaFileBug|product=SME%20Contribs|component=smeserver-ddclient|title=a bug }}and provide workable settings of your provider with ddclient (make search with google).

Please raise bugs under the SME-Contribs section in [http://bugs.contribs.org/enter_bug.cgi bugzilla] and select the smeserver-ddclient component or use {{BugzillaFileBug|product=SME%20Contribs|component=smeserver-ddclient|title=this link}}.

{{Note box|Even with the lower value acceptable (60s) it needs between 60 to 180s to see change in dns record.}}
   −
===smeserver.free.fr version===

You can keep an eye on log
 +
watch 'cat /var/log/messages|grep SUCCESS'
   −
{{Note box|This contribs is no longer maintained and may be unstable or broke your system}}
+
* You can supervise dns record
−
{{Warning box|When you have the smeserver.free.fr sme7-ddclient contrib installed and you run '''yum upgrade''' with the '''smecontribs''' repository enabled on your server, watch out! There is a smeserver-ddclient package that will get installed as an upgrade and this conflicts with the sme7-ddclient package ! Remove the sme7-ddclient first, see instructions below.}}
+
watch 'dig any your_dynamic_dns_host.xxx @dns_server_of_your_dynamic_dns_provider'
   −
'''Note:  This RPM works with SME 8 or SME 7'''
+
* If you want to know the dns servers of your dynamic provider, do
 +
dig any your_dynamic_dns_host.xxx
 +
and look about hosts in '''NS''' columns.
   −
The smeserver.free.fr site appears to be defunct (since at least April 2012), so this article provides a link to the contrib at another external file download site.
+
* If stuff goes bad you can debug and see what is happening to the daemon
 +
db configuration setprop debug enabled;
 +
db configuration setprop verbose enabled;
 +
db configuration quiet disabled;
 +
signal-event smeserver-ddclient-update
 +
and report please
   −
This contrib has some additional features like the ability to select the method on how the detect the external IP address and the ability to publish arbitrary domain names (i.e. not just the ones that are on your server).
+
* keep an eye on the ddclient cache

less /var/cache/ddclient/ddclient.cache

===Using SME default dynamic client & external DNS CNAME entries===
  −
 
  −
In many cases, you really do not need to use ddclient or some variation of it eg sme7-ddclient or smeserver-ddclient
  −
 
  −
You can use the built in dynamic client for your main domain (accessible by running Configure this server from the admin console).
  −
 
  −
Then create CNAME entries in external DNS records which point at the main domain name.
  −
 
  −
SME will update the main domain name/dynamicIP change, and the additional domains will follow it as the external IP changes.
  −
 
  −
The use of this method is only possible where the full DNS records are accessible & editable by admin users.
  −
 
  −
In some situations with DNS service providers, these DNS records are not accessible, in that case you will need to use one of the ddclient methods.
     −
Also see http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6206#c9 which says:

{{#bugzilla:columns=id,product,version,status,summary |sort=id |order=desc |component=smeserver-ddclient |noresultsmessage="No open bugs found."}}
 +
===Changelog===
 +
Only released version in smecontrib are listed here.
   −
"I notice that you mention two dyndns domains, but you should be able to set up domain2.x.y to be a CNAME for domain1.x.y, then configure domain1.x.y with the builtin client."
