I have a simple problem that I can't find a solution for.  I want to install a docker so that I can update godaddy with my IP address using a script from this post https://uk.godaddy.com/community/Managing-Domains/Dynamic-DNS-Updates/td-p/7862. 

 

It's a standard script starting #!bin/bash and it works, but I need to run it in a docker rather than using User Scripts plugin as unRAID is behind a VPN and I need to use one of the VLANs I've setup to send my real IP address to godaddy.  I just need a docker that will run the script.

 

Or, is there another way?  e.g. I'm trying to get my head around cron jobs in pfsense

 

Thanks in advance

There's a plugin call User Scripts.

It'll help you manage script files on the flash drive along with scheduling on when to run them.

This will let you do what you want without having to mess with dockers

 

But the script on pfsense is probably the real right way to do it.

I cant use the plugin as unraid is behind a VPN.  I agree pfsense would be a good place, but I can't for the life of me get the cron tool to work so I'm trying the docker approach.

I manged to get this working in pfSense.  It doesn't run every min, but at least often enough so that goDaddy has the right IP address
