This contrib is the official and maintained version for SME Server 8,9 and 10. Note that some free and paid dynamic dns services have been incorporated into the contrib.
Also note that ddclient is maintained on github [https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient here] and the full help manual page is [https://wiki.koozali.org/Ddclient-help here].
====Installation====
<tabs container><tab name="For SME 10">
yum install --enablerepo=smecontribs smeserver-ddclient ddclient
yum install --enablerepo=stephdl,epel smeserver-ddclient
</tab>

There are panels for both the original Server manager (SM1), and the new Server Manager (SM2)
Use these panels to configure domain records you wish to keep updated with your dynamic IP using the ddclient contrib
{{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.}}
====How to use====
First you need to create a domain in the server-manager (domains panel) which must match the domain you set with your dynamic dns provider.<br />
:* ip.changeip.com
For example if the domain you made was:
bjrtest.ddns.net
You have to create a relevant domain with this name.
Then go to the panel of "Dynamic clients", choose the domain you made then set your dynamic DNS provider and associated credentials to that provider.
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.
====DB settings====

Here is the
equivalent DB entries for the screens:<syntaxhighlight lang="shell">
[root@sme10 ~]# db configuration show ddclient

urlcheckip=checkip.dyndns.org
syslog=enabled
urlcheckip=googledomains
verbose=disabled
[root@sme10 ~]#
</syntaxhighlight>if you change any of these parameters, then you must run the update event as follows:<syntaxhighlight>
signal-event smeserver-ddclient-update
</syntaxhighlight>
====Removal====
====Removal====
yum remove smeserver-ddclient ddclient

====Debug====
====Debug====
{{Note box|Even with the lower value acceptable (60s) it needs between 60 to 180s to see change in dns record.}}
You can keep an eye on log
watch 'cat /var/log/messages|grep SUCCESS'
watch 'cat /var/log/messages|grep SUCCESS'
and look about hosts in '''NS''' columns.
