TransIP DDNS Docker

Create a docker container for updating a TransIP DNS record with the current public IP address. It monitors the current public IP address and when it changes it updates the DNS record hosted at TransIP.

Using

This project uses:

IPInfo.io API for getting the public IP address
transip/tipctl TransIP Control the official TransIP RestAPI CLI for setting the IP address
php:cli Official php:cli docker image

Usage / Commands

Build or pull image

docker build -t jmdirksen/tipddns:latest .
or
docker pull jmdirksen/tipddns:latest

Run container

Example loading private key from file 'private.key':

docker run -it \
  -e LOGINNAME=myusername \
  -e PRIVATEKEY="$(cat private.key)" \
  -e DOMAIN=mydomain.com \
  -e RECORD=@ \
  --restart unless-stopped --name tipddns jmdirksen/tipddns:latest

Replace -it for -itd to run the container in the background (or detach from the running container by pressing Ctrl+P followed by Ctrl+Q)
