gandyndns

The purpose of this script is to change on execution the IP address of a Gandi.net DNS record (default is to change the DNS @.example.com A record) and replacing the IP with the public IP of the machine on which the code is executed. The goal is to provide a dynamic change of DNS record like DynDNS, DuckDNS, etc for Gandi.net domains.

This script was inspired by matt1's gandi-ddns script : matt1/gandi-ddns

Usage

1. Define an object of class GanDynDns at the end of the file :

main = GanDynDns("example.org", "@", "A", "your-api-key")

Or if you want to define multiple domains to update :

domain = "example.org"
apikey = "your-api-key"

main = GanDynDns(domain, "@", "A", apikey)
mail = GanDynDns(domain, "mail", "A" apikey)

Each time the script runs and the objects are created they check if the IPs in the DNS record match the current public IP.

2. Run the script using a cron task :

sudo crontab -e

And then to execute every 15 minutes write in the crontab :

 */15 * * * * python /opt/services/scripts/gandyndns.py
