It automatically obtains public IPv4 or IPv6 addresses and updates DNS provider records, with a web UI, service mode, Docker deployment, and support for many DNS providers. ### Project history The GitHub repository was created in 2020, with v0.0.1 released later that year. The official README frames the project around simple web-based configuration, multi-provider DNS support, service installation, Docker use, webhooks, callbacks, and a default five-minute sync interval. ### Adoption history DDNS-GO's adoption is strongest in self-hosting and homelab use, where users need a packaged updater for residential or changing IP addresses. Its release stream moved quickly through the 5.x and 6.x series, and the project distributes through GitHub releases, Docker images, Homebrew, Nix, and Scoop-style package channels. ### How it is used Typical package usage is to install the binary as a Mac, Linux, or Windows service, open the local web UI on port 9876 for initial configuration, and store provider credentials in the YAML configuration file. Docker users mount a host directory and run the container with host networking or an exposed web port. ### Why package nerds care DDNS-GO matters to package nerds because it turns a classically cron-and-script networking chore into a single packaged daemon with a web UI and provider adapters. Its configuration file is both operational state and credential storage, so packagers and users care about service paths, mount points, and upgrade behavior. ### Timeline - 2020: Public GitHub repository created. - 2020: DDNS-GO v0.0.1 released. - 2023: DDNS-GO v5.0.0 released. - 2026: DDNS-GO v6.17.1 released. ### Related projects - Supported DNS providers include Aliyun, Tencent Cloud, Dnspod, Cloudflare, Huawei Cloud, Baidu Cloud, Porkbun, GoDaddy, Namecheap, NameSilo, and others listed in the README. - Docker and GHCR images are official deployment surfaces for self-hosted use. - Webhook and callback integrations are official extension points for notifications and custom DNS-provider behavior. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
