Can I use godaddy-ddns to update the IP of my main domain? #31

Hello, sorry for my bad English, it is not my first language. Before I start I want to clarify that I am a complete newbie to networks and the Internet, so I may actually be asking a stupid question. I am using your script to have a ddns with godaddy. It works very well, thanks for creating something so good. But I have a question, could I use this script to update the IP of my main domain? I mean, using the syntax that is in the instructions I can create a subdomain that obtains the IP address if it changes. But could godaddy-ddns be applied for the current main record? I'm thinking something like: docker run --name @.example.com -d --restart unless-stopped --env GD_NAME=@ --env GD_DOMAIN=example.com --env GD_TTL=1200 --env GD_KEY=key-value-from-godaddy-developer-console --env GD_SECRET=secret-key-value-from-godaddy-developer-console linuxshots/godaddy-ddns:latest According to godaddy the "@" is used to add an A record in the main domain. I was wondering if I could apply the same in godaddy-ddns.

Yes. You can use command something like below:

docker run --name example.com -d --restart unless-stopped --env GD_NAME=@ --env GD_DOMAIN=example.com --env GD_TTL=1200 --env GD_KEY=key-value-from-godaddy-developer-console --env GD_SECRET=secret-key-value-from-godaddy-developer-console linuxshots/godaddy-ddns:latest
