noipcom/noip-duc repository overview

⁠No-IP Linux DUC for Docker

⁠📋 Description

The No-IP update client for Docker is a handy tool that automates the process of keeping your dynamic IP address in sync with your No-IP hostname(s). In simpler terms, it helps you make sure that your domain name (like camera.ddns.net) always points to your current IP address.

⁠🚀 Quick Start

⁠1. Pull the docker container from Dockerhub

docker pull noipcom/noip-duc

⁠2. Create Your Configuration

Create an .env file (e.g. noip-duc.env) in a secure location with your No-IP credentials:

# noip-duc.env with DDNS Key
NOIP_USERNAME=DdnsKeyUser
NOIP_PASSWORD=DdnsKeyPass
NOIP_HOSTNAMES=all.ddnskey.com

Reminder: Replace DdnsKeyUser, DdnsKeyPass, and the hostnames with your actual No-IP account credentials and hostname or all.ddnskey.com as the hostname if you are using a DDNS Key.

⁠3. Run the Container

docker run -d --env-file noip-duc.env --name noip-duc ghcr.io/noipcom/noip-duc:latest

⁠Docker Compose

Thanks for the help from our contributors, we now include an example compose.yaml file in the repository.

Simply run docker compose up once you have filled in the noip-duc.env file with your credentials.

⁠🔐 Authentication Methods

⁠DDNS Keys (Recommended)

DDNS Keys⁠ provide enhanced security with randomly generated credentials for each hostname.

Once you have created a DDNS Key on your No-IP account, put it in your configuration (.env file).

If your DDNS Key Username is yf5f8n5 and your DDNS Key Password is gHil56Bu, your configuration file should look like this:

# noip-duc.env with DDNS Key
NOIP_USERNAME=yf5f7n5
NOIP_PASSWORD=gHil56Bu
NOIP_HOSTNAMES=all.ddnskey.com

⁠👥 Groups (Legacy)

For existing Groups configurations:

# noip-duc.env with Groups
NOIP_USERNAME=mygroup:myuser
NOIP_PASSWORD=GroupPassword
NOIP_HOSTNAMES=myhostname.ddns.net

⁠🌐 IPv6 Support

Enable IPv6 updates by creating an AAAA (IPv6) type hostname and adding this to your ENV file:

NOIP_IP_METHOD=http://ip1.dynupdate6.no-ip.com/

⁠🛠️ Management

⁠Check Container Status

docker logs noip-duc

⁠Update Credentials

1. Edit your environment file with new values
2. Restart the container:

docker restart noip-duc
