linuxserver/ddclient¶
Ddclient is a Perl client used to update dynamic DNS entries for accounts on Dynamic DNS Network Service Provider. It was originally written by Paul Burry and is now mostly by wimpunk. It has the capability to update more than just dyndns and it can fetch your WAN-ipaddress in a few different ways.
Supported Architectures¶
We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/ddclient:latest should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
| Architecture | Available | Tag |
|---|---|---|
| x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-<version tag> |
| arm64 | ✅ | arm64v8-<version tag> |
| armhf | ❌ |
Application Setup¶
Edit the ddclient.conf file found in your /config volume (also see official ddclient documentation). This config file has many providers to choose from and you basically just have to uncomment your provider and add username/password where requested. If you modify ddclient.conf, ddclient will automaticcaly restart and read the config.
Get dynamic IP from Fritz.Box¶
If ddclient shall fetch the dynamic (public) IP-address from a fritz.box (AVM) add the following line to /config/ddclient.conf:
use=cmd, cmd=/etc/ddclient/get-ip-from-fritzbox

Usage¶
To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.
docker-compose (recommended, click here for more info)¶
The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static
Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64.
