Duckdns is a free service which will point a DNS (sub domains of duckdns.org) to an IP of your choice. The service is completely free, and doesn't require reactivation or forum posts to maintain its existence.

Supported Architectures

Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling linuxserver/duckdns 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 Tag
x86-64 amd64-latest
arm64 arm64v8-latest
armhf arm32v7-latest

Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.

docker

docker create \
  --name=duckdns \
  -e PUID=1000 `#optional` \
  -e PGID=1000 `#optional` \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -e SUBDOMAINS=subdomain1,subdomain2 \
  -e TOKEN=token \
  -e LOG_FILE=false `#optional` \
  -v </path/to/appdata/config>:/config `#optional` \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/duckdns

docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

---
version: "2"
services:
  duckdns:
    image: linuxserver/duckdns
    container_name: duckdns
    environment:
      - PUID=1000 #optional
      - PGID=1000 #optional
      - TZ=Europe/London
      - SUBDOMAINS=subdomain1,subdomain2
      - TOKEN=token
      - LOG_FILE=false #optional
    volumes:
    volumes:
      - </path/to/appdata/config>:/config #optional
    restart: unless-stopped

Parameters

Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

Ports (-p)

Parameter Function

Environment Variables (-e)

Env Function
PUID=1000 for UserID - see below for explanation
PGID=1000 for GroupID - see below for explanation
TZ=Europe/London Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London
SUBDOMAINS=subdomain1,subdomain2 multiple subdomains allowed, comma separated, no spaces
TOKEN=token DuckDNS token
LOG_FILE=false Set to true to log to file (also need to map /config).

Volume Mappings (-v)

Volume Function
/config Used in conjunction with logging to file.

User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (-v flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

Application Setup

  • Go to the duckdns website, register your subdomain(s) and retrieve your token
  • Create a container with your subdomain(s) and token
  • It will update your IP with the DuckDNS service every 5 minutes

Support Info

  • Shell access whilst the container is running:
    • docker exec -it duckdns /bin/bash
  • To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
    • docker logs -f duckdns
  • Container version number
    • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' duckdns
  • Image version number
    • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/duckdns
