DynDNS - Add DreamHost DNS support
Added by Frank Gruman about 7 years ago.
Updated about 6 years ago.
Description
I have been a customer of DreamHost (https://www.dreamhost.com/) for many years with several domains and subdomains. I have always used a PC with a custom script to maintain DNS domains that pointed back to the customer sites. I have finally gotten fed up with that solution and have extended the Dynamic DNS solution to support DreamHost DNS.
Please consider accepting Pull Request 3579 (https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/pull/3579) to support the addition of DreamHost Dynamic DNS.
In implementing this I did add some additional methods to the dyndns.class file to support lookup and remove operations. This is because DreamHost does not perform a direct DNS record update but rather a remove and an add. The remove must be done with data that matches an existing record and thus the lookup was necessary since the dyndns module does not seem to have access to the old interface address.

will need a signed CLA prior to integration.
The Pull Request should show that I have already completed the CLA. Is there a separate one that I need to complete?
Whoops... I completely missed that the second red flag "CLA Missing" was a reversal.
Any progress on this? I'd love to use it. Looking at the possibility of combining this with the acme and haproxy packages.
I'm pretty interested in finally seeing this delivered. The pull request was accepted into master 5 months ago. Is there any specific reason it has still not been delivered or tagged for inclusion in a release?

It's already included in 2.4.x, not really sure what else are you requesting.
OK - I do see that it made it into the 2.4.0 Git branch. I didn't see it listed at https://redmine.pfsense.org/versions/25 or https://redmine.pfsense.org/versions/34 and this ticket was never updated to include a target version. I was waiting to see it added somewhere as a sign that it had made it out.
So - I guess it's just a matter of either jumping into the RC stream or waiting for the final release of 2.4.0.
- Status changed from New to Resolved
- Project changed from pfSense Packages to pfSense
- Category set to Dynamic DNS
- Target version set to 2.4.0
- % Done changed from 0 to 100
I tried to set this up today, but did not have any luck. I selected "Verbose" logging, but I'm not sure where to find the logs. Is this working for anyone else?
The logs should appear under Status > System Logs under the "General" section. Most of the log entries will start with "rc.dyndns". I've got this running on 4 separate routers without any hitches so hopefully the log will give you the detail you need.
Thanks so much! The logs helped me figure it out. I didn't realize I needed to create the record manually first. Seems obvious to me in retrospect. Is this able to set the TTL?
Corey Wicklund I saw your note about adding this to the ACME package. Were you able to do this? I did not see Dreamhost in the list of options of DNS providers. I would love to have it in the ACME package. Anything I can do to help on that front?
