Dynamic IP updater written in Go for DNSimple.com host domains.

go-dns

go-dns is a dynamic IP updater for DNSimple.com domains. go-dns will update and pre-configured domain's ip to the ip of your router.

Quick Start

Download one of the archives listed below, and extract to the location of your choice. One of the included files is a settings.json.sample. Rename that file to settings.json, and update its contents appropriately. The values in the file are pretty self explanitory. The required email is the one you use to log into dnsimple.com with. The token can be found in your dnsimple.com account profile, under the API tab.

Here is an example settings.json file. Note, you shouldn't have to change the record-type attribute.

{
  "credentials" : {
      "email": "[email protected]",
      "token": "ABCfGHI56aPe98IuYTR"
  },
  "domains" : [
    {
      "name": "example.com",
      "record-type": "A"
    },
    {
      "name": "foobarbaz.com",
      "record-type": "A"
    }
  ]
}

Next, run go-dns

$ go-dns
...

And thats it. go-dns will print out your router ip, and if the IPs of the domains match or not. If go-dns finds a mismatch, it will update the domain IP to the router's IP.
