Gandi-dyndns

A simple script to update Gandi DNS records.

Requirements

You will need the following python packages:

• pyyaml, to parse the configuration file
• requests, to perform the DNS record change

Getting started

1. Copy the script somewhere
2. Allow script execution:

$ chmod u+x ./update_dns.py

3. Create a configuration file (see the example)
4. Launch the script:

$ ./update_dns.py /path/to/config.yml

5. Install the systemd service and timer for automatic DNS update.

$ vim ./systemd/update_dns.service # update parameters, config file, etc.
$ vim ./systemd/update_dns.timer   # update interval between DNS updates, if needed
$ sudo cp ./systemd/update_dns.* /etc/systemd/system # copy files to correct systemd directory
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload              # reload daemon to find the timer
$ sudo systemctl enable update_dns.timer
$ sudo systemctl start update_dns.timer
