@nanoflite/no-ip-updater v1.0.0

Simple no-ip-updater

I wrote this no-ip updater because my server is behind a router and my external ip address is not what the router assumes it is.

The ip adress gets determined by using whatsmyipaddress.com and then an update happens to the no-ip API.

Configuration

There are 4 environment variables used for configuration:

• NOIP_USERNAME
• NOIP_PASSWORD
• NOIP_HOSTNAME

• NOIP_INTERVAL (time between 2 updates in milliseconds, e.g. 1800000 for every 30 minutes)

I recommend using direnv to manage these environment variables (https://direnv.net/).

Running

Simply from the command line...

$> NOIP_USERNAME=... node index.js

Or under the PM2 process manager (https://pm2.keymetrics.io/)...

$> npm start

(There's a stop target as well)
