Sorry, we introduced a bug that has been fixed in the meanwhile.

tomkhlr · 2020-02-05T10:38:44Z

I have a raspi behind a fritzbox acting as owncloud server. That worked well until Monday morning, when the IPv4 address got updated to
127.0.0.1. I changed the script instead of ipv4=auto in the api update command i use the current external IPv4 address. That fixes the problem.
Any idea why this suddenly happens? (no hardware or software changes/updates)

jbob · 2020-02-07T23:05:37Z

Same here

andi34 · 2020-03-29T08:11:55Z

You can use address=$(wget -O- "https://api6.ipify.org")
(For ipv4 use https://api.ipify.org)

Or better place it below

if [ -e /usr/bin/curl ]; then
  bin="curl -fsS"
elif [ -e /usr/bin/wget ]; then
  bin="wget -O-"
else
  echo "neither curl nor wget found"
  exit 1
fi

To allow using curl or wget, depending on your setup.

if [ -e /usr/bin/curl ]; then
  bin="curl -fsS"
elif [ -e /usr/bin/wget ]; then
  bin="wget -O-"
else
  echo "neither curl nor wget found"
  exit 1
fi

address=$($bin "https://api6.ipify.org")

Because we don't want to use crontab to execute the script, we hope to execute the update script through the /etc/ppp/ipv6-up script of the system after establishing the pppoe session. But I found that after my router established pppoe session, the IPv6 address acquisition would be delayed, resulting in the update failure when $address was empty. Therefore, the base script is modified. When it is found that $address is empty, wait for 1 minute and then assign the value again, The loop ends after 30 times.

Note: crontab is not recommended for this script, which will increase the operating system load.

# When the address is empty, wait for 1 minute and then assign the value again. The loop ends after 30 times.
i=1
while [ $i -lt 30 ]
do
　address=$(ip -6 addr list scope global $device | grep -v " fd" | sed -n 's/.*inet6 $[0-9a-f:]\+$.*/\1/p' | head -n 1)
　if [ -z "$address" ]; then
　　sleep 1m
　　((i++))
　　else
　　　break
　fi
done

flid0 · 2021-07-21T12:58:17Z

Here's a Python updater for IPv4 that updates to the IP of the PC the script is run on.
-Prerequisites
Python (duh)
requests the python module
pip install requests

Once done with the prerequisites, edit the script so the variables match your zone (hostname) and token.
Then run the script and the IPv4 address for your zone should update every 30 seconds!

I created two versions of the updater; an auto and a manual.

Manual Version:
https://gist.github.com/flid0/8784baff35ec061f00432a9db3525c20
Auto Version:
https://gist.github.com/flid0/91bd9a3e15b61a8fd5797c325b3451a0

Only for IPV6 DDNS

tolshao · 2021-11-29T04:39:35Z

@andi34
the following script was out of work
address=$(wget -O- "https://api6.ipify.org")
"api64.ipify.org " always returns ipv4 address

andi34 · 2021-11-29T04:58:51Z

@tolshao nope, works fine. Typo on your end? api64 vs api6?

tm-107 · 2022-02-16T17:01:13Z

I don't like caching the "old" IP in a file because if it was changed manually on dynv6.com or the update went wrong, the script doesn't notice.
So this variant works very well for me:

#!/bin/sh

HOSTNAME_DYNV6="****.dynv6.net"
TOKEN_DYNV6="****"

IP4ADDR=$(curl -s http://ipecho.net/plain)
IP6ADDR=`ip addr show eth0 | grep 'scope global dynamic' | grep -Po 'inet6 \K[0-9a-fA-F:]+'`

if [ "$IP4ADDR" = "" ]
then
        echo "Error: unable to determine IPv4 address" 1>&2
fi

if [ "$IP6ADDR" = "" ]
then
        echo "Error: unable to determine IPv6 address" 1>&2
fi

if [ "$IP4ADDR" != "" ]
then
	ping $HOSTNAME_DYNV6 -4 -c 1 > null # a little dirty - needed to update dns-cache
	IP4ADDR_DYNV6=$(dig $HOSTNAME_DYNV6 A +short)

	if [ "$IP4ADDR" != "$IP4ADDR_DYNV6" ]
	then
		echo "IPv4 adress has changed -> update ..."
		curl -s "https://ipv4.dynv6.com/api/update?hostname=$HOSTNAME_DYNV6&token=$TOKEN_DYNV6&ipv4=auto"
		echo "---"
	fi
fi

if [ "$IP6ADDR" != "" ]
then
        ping $HOSTNAME_DYNV6 -6 -c 1 > null # a little dirty - needed to update dns-cache
		IP6ADDR_DYNV6=$(dig $HOSTNAME_DYNV6 AAAA +short)

	if [ "$IP6ADDR" != "$IP6ADDR_DYNV6" ]
	then
		echo "IPv6 adress has changed -> update ..."
		curl -s "https://ipv6.dynv6.com/api/update?hostname=$HOSTNAME_DYNV6&token=$TOKEN_DYNV6&ipv6prefix=auto"
		echo "---"
	fi
fi

vinnymac · 2022-05-31T13:58:22Z

@tm-107 thanks for the script. While this did most of the work for me, I had to modify it to the following for it to work for my needs. For some reason auto was setting the IPV6 address to one that ended in :: and was missing the last three characters of my address. I made some small modifications to use the current address, including the netmask.

#!/bin/sh

HOSTNAME_DYNV6="****.dynv6.net"
TOKEN_DYNV6="****"
DEVICE_INTERFACE=eno1

IP4ADDR=$(curl -s http://ipecho.net/plain)
IP6ADDR_WITH_MASK=`ip -6 addr list scope global dynamic $DEVICE_INTERFACE | grep -Po 'inet6 \K[0-9a-fA-F:\/]+' | head -n1 | tr -d '\n'`
IP6ADDR=`echo $IP6ADDR_WITH_MASK | tr '/' '\n' | head -n1`

if [ "$IP4ADDR" = "" ]
then
        echo "Error: unable to determine IPv4 address" 1>&2
fi

if [ "$IP6ADDR" = "" ]
then
        echo "Error: unable to determine IPv6 address" 1>&2
fi

if [ "$IP4ADDR" != "" ]
then
	ping $HOSTNAME_DYNV6 -4 -c 1 > null # a little dirty - needed to update dns-cache
	IP4ADDR_DYNV6=$(dig $HOSTNAME_DYNV6 A +short)

	if [ "$IP4ADDR" != "$IP4ADDR_DYNV6" ]
	then
		echo "IPv4 adress has changed -> update ..."
		curl -s "https://ipv4.dynv6.com/api/update?hostname=$HOSTNAME_DYNV6&token=$TOKEN_DYNV6&ipv4=auto"
		echo "---"
	fi
fi

if [ "$IP6ADDR" != "" ]
then
        ping $HOSTNAME_DYNV6 -6 -c 1 > null # a little dirty - needed to update dns-cache
		IP6ADDR_DYNV6=$(dig $HOSTNAME_DYNV6 AAAA +short)

	if [ "$IP6ADDR" != "$IP6ADDR_DYNV6" ]
	then
		echo "IPv6 adress has changed -> update ..."
		curl -s "https://ipv6.dynv6.com/api/update?hostname=$HOSTNAME_DYNV6&token=$TOKEN_DYNV6&ipv6prefix=$IP6ADDR_WITH_MASK"
		echo "---"
	fi
fi

@tolshao and @andi34
curl https://api6.ipify.org will actually return an IPV4 address, but only if you have disabled IPV6. I imagine that was what happened above.

slyfunky · 2022-10-20T06:38:34Z

I made a simple batch file script for my Windows need, hope it can help someone too.

andredasilvapinto · 2022-12-16T19:43:26Z

You should use https

nilsbentlage · 2023-01-28T22:10:33Z

Made my shell script like this. Think it's leightweight and easy to read

#!/bin/bash

# dynDNS with dynV6 & ipv6 done right

# Initial values

newIpV6=$(ip -6 addr show scope global | grep inet6 | sed -e 's/^.*inet6 \([^ ]*\)\/.*$/\1/;t;d')
oldIpV6='No data in cachefile'

# Change these parameters as you want to

logfile=~/dynv6.log
cachefile=~/.dynv6cache
token=<your-token>
zone=<your-zone>

if [[ -f $cachefile ]]; then
    oldIpV6=$(cat $cachefile)
fi

if [[ $newIpV6 != $oldIpV6 ]]; then
    echo "$(date): Updating the DNS. Output can be found in ${logfile}"
    echo "$(date): $(curl -k "https://dynv6.com/api/update?token=${token}&zone=${zone}&ipv6=${newIpV6}")" | tee -a $logfile
    echo $newIpV6 > $cachefile
else
    echo "$(date): IP did not Change. Skipping the update" | tee -a $logfile
fi

Use this as a cron job as often as you need and you should be good to go.

I test it on my RPI4b,Which
ip -6 addr show scope global | grep inet6 | sed -e 's/^.inet6 ([^ ])/.*$/\1/;t;d'
will output two AAAA addr,and this script output error like this:
curl: (3) URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL

can be fix by adding | head -n 1)

nibbsification · 2023-02-07T17:03:20Z

can be fix by adding | head -n 1)

Hi there, could you please tell a noob, at which position? I added it behind the URI and it didnt work
dynv6.sh: line 23: ` echo "$(date): $(curl -k "https://dynv6.com/api/update?token=${token}&zone=${zone}&ipv6=${newIpV6}")" | tee -a $logfile | head -n 1)'

Edit: I've read your comment with more care and figured it out. it should be like this:
newIpV6=$(ip -6 addr show scope global | grep inet6 | sed -e 's/^.*inet6 $[^ ]*$\/.*$/\1/;t;d' | head -n 1)

aacunha · 2023-04-25T23:26:25Z

echo "My Ipv6: "$ipv6

Here is a node.js implementation of the script, that can be built into an executable with pkg and scheduled using Systemd/Windows Task Scheduler

const os = require('os');

const ip6addr = (os.networkInterfaces())['Ethernet'][1]['address'];
const domain = '<domain>';
const username = '<token>';
const url = `https://dynv6.com/api/update?hostname=${domain}&token=${username}&ipv6=${ip6addr}`;

fetch(url, {
  method: 'GET'
}).then((response) => {
  response.text().then((data) => {
    console.log(data);
  });
}).catch((error) => {
  console.error(error);
});

	#!/bin/sh -e
	hostname=$1
	device=$2
	file=$HOME/.dynv6.addr6
	[ -e $file ] && old=`cat $file`

	if [ -z "$hostname" -o -z "$token" ]; then
	echo "Usage: token=<your-authentication-token> [netmask=64] $0 your-name.dynv6.net [device]"
	exit 1
	fi

	if [ -z "$netmask" ]; then
	netmask=128
	fi

	if [ -n "$device" ]; then
	device="dev $device"
	fi
	address=$(ip -6 addr list scope global $device \| grep -v " fd" \| sed -n 's/.inet6 \([0-9a-f:]\+\)./\1/p' \| head -n 1)

	if [ -e /usr/bin/curl ]; then
	bin="curl -fsS"
	elif [ -e /usr/bin/wget ]; then
	bin="wget -O-"
	else
	echo "neither curl nor wget found"
	exit 1
	fi

	if [ -z "$address" ]; then
	echo "no IPv6 address found"
	exit 1
	fi

	# address with netmask
	current=$address/$netmask

	if [ "$old" = "$current" ]; then
	echo "IPv6 address unchanged"
	exit
	fi

	# send addresses to dynv6
	$bin "http://dynv6.com/api/update?hostname=$hostname&ipv6=$current&token=$token"
	$bin "http://ipv4.dynv6.com/api/update?hostname=$hostname&ipv4=auto&token=$token"

	# save current address
	echo $current > $file
