Update script for dynv6.com to set your IPv4 address and IPv6 prefix

dynv6.sh

#!/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

This is my script (bash), free to use:

#!/bin/bash

bin="curl -fsS"

fqdn=<your_domain>
token='<Your_token>'

ipv4=dig TXT +short o-o.myaddr.l.google.com @ns1.google.com | cut -f2 -d'"'
ipv6=dig -6 TXT +short o-o.myaddr.l.google.com @ns1.google.com | cut -f2 -d'"'

echo "My Ipv6: "$ipv6
echo ""

if [[ $ipv6 =~ ^([0-9a-fA-F]{0,4}:){1,7}[0-9a-fA-F]{0,4}$ ]]
then
echo "Updating $fqdn (ipv6)..."
$bin "http://dynv6.com/api/update?hostname=$fqdn&ipv6=$ipv6&token=$token"
echo ""
else
echo "Invalid IPv6 address"
fi

echo "My IPv4: "$ipv4
echo ""

if [[ $ipv4 =~ ^[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+$ ]]
then
echo "Updating $fqdn (ipv4)..."
$bin "http://dynv6.com/api/update?hostname=$fqdn&token=$token&ipv4=$ipv4"
else
echo "Invalid IPv4 address"
fi

echo "End of DNS records update!"

exit 0

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);
});
