[BlueOnyx:25279] Re: Dynamic DNS Client running on Blueonyx

[Chad A. Bersche]

Thanks for the info Michael.

One of my, perhaps larger, queries is whether doing something like 
turning on "epel-release" via "yum install epel-release" would be 
supportable?  After that, presumably one could then install the 
'ddclient' package via Yum, which is how I had enabled it on my other 
Centos based install (and yes, I know the AlmaLinux vs CentOS challenges 
currently, but EPEL should be (mostly) compatible).

If 'ddclient' can safely be installed, then there's a nice configuration 
support via ddclient.conf where you can specify multiple DDNS services, 
domains, notification, and update intervals.  It also supports things 
like API keys, etc. to be able to do password-less updates, and doesn't 
really rely on cron, and support for several protocols.

If the ddclient RPM can be installed on BlueOnyx, that'd be great, 
though I know I'd be heading into CLI world of enabling EPEL, etc. and I 
just don't want to go too far off the supported range.

Thanks again!
