How to install #6

Closed memen45 closed 3 years ago

memen45 commented 3 years ago

Trying to install the tool, did the following steps, but am getting command not found error.

wget https://github.com/jlentink/go-transip-dyndns/releases/download/v1.0.3/go-transip-dyndns_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz
sudo tar xzvf go-transip-dyndns_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz
go-transip-dyndns validate

Now I have no idea how to proceed. Did I make a mistake or could you maybe point me to the standard procedure of installing these kind of binaries?

jlentink commented 3 years ago

Please follow the instruction on the Readme file and you should be fine. You can run it from everywhere on your system.

memen45 commented 3 years ago

The first 5 steps are clear, however, the downloading/installing steps are not described. At step 6 the crontab has to be edited, however, I assume the binary has to be installed before that in order to work?

jlentink commented 3 years ago

Yes the binary can be where every you like. The config needs to be

filename is go-transip-dyndns.toml

Just download the bin which works for your system and place it somewhere and off you go.

Ah okay, thanks a lot. The manual part is working now. However, I think the cron is not working. I added the following line to the crontab 0 * * * * /usr/local/bin/go-transip-dyndns > ~/go-transip-dyndns/go-transip-dyndns.log 2>&1

But got the following in the log file: /bin/sh: 1: /usr/local/bin/go-transip-dyndns: not found

I can run from ~/go-transip-dyndns/go-transip-dyndns manually though.

Well the hint is then also there. The binary is not available in /usr/local/bin bit in your home directory under go-transip-dyndns.

Move the binary to the correct location and ensure it is able to find the config under /usr/local/bin an you are set.

Met vriendelijke groet, Kind regards,

Thanks, so the files should be copied to /usr/local/bin directory. Went for the other solution:

0 * * * * cd go-transip-dyndns && ./go-transip-dyndns > go-transip-dyndns.log 2>&1
