Not clear why custom ddns not working (duck dns)...

[andy_d]

I followed the steps here...

https://www.htpcguides.com/use-afraid-custom-dynamic-dns-asus-routers/

Script exists in..

/jffs/scripts/ddns-start

The script I used...

https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/DDNS-Sample-Scripts#duck-dns

Where I used my domain label in "subdomain" and added the token as well.

In logs I see...

ec 23 14:52:47 watchdog: start ddns.
Dec 23 14:52:47 rc_service: watchdog 252:notify_rc start_ddns
Dec 23 14:52:47 start_ddns: update CUSTOM , wan_unit 0
Dec 23 14:52:47 custom_script: Running /jffs/scripts/ddns-start (args: ) - max timeout = 120s
Dec 23 14:52:57 Mastiff: Got AAE_SIG_REMOTE_CONNECTION_TURNED_ON
Dec 23 14:52:57 Mastiff: select error
Dec 23 14:52:57 rc_service: httpd 248:notify_rc restart_ddns


Which besides the select error I don't really see what the problem is.

Any idea what I might be the issue?

Mastiff has nothing to do with DDNS, it's related to the IFTTT daemon.

You will have to manually run your ddns-start script to see if it spits out any error.

/jffs/scripts/ddns-start 71.xxx.yyy.zzz

There's a nice ddns-start script for duckdns here: https://gist.github.com/kevinxw/f7a5d5402887ca1b5b2c399c60e0921f
which seems to work okay for me, it allows you to specify your sub-domain and token through the gui.

# put 'hostname|token' in the 'Host Name' field under DDNS
# e.g. myhost|abcdefgh-1234-5678-9876-f71b0ed7a7fe

Clicking Apply in the GUI forces the script to run and I can see this in the logs:

Dec 24 23:49:11 custom_script: Running /jffs/scripts/ddns-start (args: [redacted] ) - max timeout = 120s
Dec 24 23:49:11 [redacted]: DDNS Request URL: https://www.duckdns.org/update?domains=[redacted]&token=[redacted]&ip=[redacted]&ipv6=
Dec 24 23:49:12 [redacted]: DDNS Request result: OK
Dec 24 23:49:12 ddns: Completed custom ddns update

Thanks guys!

Sorry just getting around to this again. Got it working with that script and see it in the logs.
