Cheat Sheet

DuckDNS.sh (duckdns.sh) is the best Dynamic DNS client to date. Not only does it have some nice sub commands and work on all Posix systems, but it can also register itself with your system launcher - systemd on Linux and launchctl on macOS.

Paste your token from duckdns.org to start.

# duckdns.sh auth <subdomain>
# duckdns.sh auth foobar # do NOT include '.duckdns.org'

Set to launch on login (Mac) or on boot (Linux)

# duckdns.sh enable <subdomain>
duckdns.sh enable foobar

Usage

Use -v to filter out all matches so that only non-matches are left.
