Steps to configure DuckDDNS

  1. Log onto device as root, e.g.

> ssh [email protected]

Password is your admin login to the router.

  1. Edit /etc.defaults/ddns_provider.conf using vi (e.g.) and append contents of ddns_provider.conf to the end.
  2. Copy the code from duckddns above into /sbin/duckddns and execute command

> chmod +x /sbin/duckddns

  1. In router web UI go to Network Center -> Internet -> Quick Connect & DDNS -> DDNS and add a new entry. Choose "DuckDNS".

Hostname = your subdomain on duckdns
Username/Email = doesn't matter/not used
Password = your DuckDNS token

You should be done now.

Quick and Dirty Way

This one-liner will modify & create the files as described by grabbing the code from this gist:

wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/jamietre/5b233567d565fd0322ddd5b9ee7f0c84/raw/6305de66e86f78c1edd45c756a9542ce990a5e30/ddns_provider.conf -O ->> /etc.defaults/ddns_provider.conf && wget -O /sbin/duckddns https://gist.githubusercontent.com/jamietre/5b233567d565fd0322ddd5b9ee7f0c84/raw/abe5a36676e90dadac45b80082c6391b8adcfc9f/duckdns && chmod +x /sbin/duckddns

Now you should just need to change the config per step 4 above.

The Quick and Dirty Way one-liner is outdated unfortunately and isn't pointing to the latest raw duckddns. Here's the updated one-liner.
