    Name.com IP updater


Updates your dynamic IP using name.com services

This is useful when your have a local server in home.
Setup (3 steps)

Linq.py uses Python 2.7+ be careful!
Install dependencies

$ apt install curl python
Script execution

Then, download both shell scripts, then you just to execute this script once with this:
$ bash curl.sh <instance_id> <your_username> <your_password> <server> <hostname> (debug)

Note: use optional debug param to know state of the execution.

In my case:
$ bash curl.sh home_network z3nth10n blablabla z3nth10n.net home
$ bash curl.sh vpn_server z3nth10n blablabla z3nth10n.net vpn_server
Note: If you need to know your API token, please review this link.
This will update the A record for my home subdomain in name.com:

Crontab

Then, configure a Cron task:
$ crontab -e
Append this line:
@hourly /<path>/curl.sh <instance_id>
In my case:
@hourly /root/curl.sh home_network
@hourly /root/curl.sh vpn_server
This will execute this script every hour, keeping in track new IPs changes.
