First : AFAIK ddclient is not started when the docker container is turned up. A "ps -a" in a shell in the container does not show anything related to ddclient. Did I miss something ? Then : A "ddclient" command in the same shell seems to work fine as long as my ddclient.conf file is in /etc/ddclient. For this, I need to fix the default app template, replacing /config mount by /etc/ddclient. Is that normal ? Final : How to make ddclient being turned up when the container is revived ? Thanks for reading ! ddclient is running as long as the container is running and the config is copied to the correct place if it's edited. You have not supplied any usable info to be able to help you. Post the full logs and the docker run command (no template screenshots).
April 1, 20215 yr Hi saarg, Thx for your answer and for the help. So ddclient should be running "out of the box" with the default template configuration. Thus, I removed any modification I did, and this is what I get : Docker run command : root@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -d --name='ddclient' --net='bridge' -e TZ="Europe/Paris" -e HOST_OS="Unraid" -e 'PUID'='99' -e 'PGID'='100' -v '/mnt/user/appdata/ddclient':'/config':'rw' 'linuxserver/ddclient' And this is the docker log : [s6-init] making user provided files available at /var/run/s6/etc...exited 0.

April 10, 20215 yr Hi there, Better answering late than never. I tried again the day after, and everything was working fine. @saarg : So u were right. I most likely had been temporary banned for setting a too low value for the daemon variable... Thx again !
May 26, 20215 yr I don't see an Njalla template in the config file, though it's supposed to be supported according to the documentation. Has anyone been able to make it work with Njalla and would be kind enough to share their configs? Thanks!

September 1, 20214 yr I have 2 servers in different locations on the same domain. Server 1 ## ddclient.conf daemon=600 syslog=yes #mail=root #mail-failure=root pid=/var/run/ddclient/ddclient.pid # record PID in file. ssl=yes use=web, web=checkip.dynu.com/, web-skip='IP Address' server=api.dynu.com protocol=dyndns2 login=user password=password domain.xyz That one works fine. Server 2 ## ddclient.conf daemon=600 syslog=yes #mail=root #mail-failure=root pid=/var/run/ddclient/ddclient.pid ssl=yes use=web, web=checkip.dynu.com/, web-skip='IP Address' server=api.dynu.com protocol=dyndns2 login=user password=password siteb.domain.xyz Every time it runs I get 2 message in the log. WARNING: file /var/cache/ddclient/ddclient.cache, line 3: Invalid Value for keyword 'ip' = '' FAILED: updating xxxxx.xxxxx.xyz: badauth: Bad authorization (username or password) I even copied the config from server 1 to server 2 and changed the domain to the correct one for the server and still get the errors. Both servers run the same version of unraid and the same version of ddclient. I removed the docker container and all configs and reinstalled it but get the same results. I am at loss as to what to check next. Any ideas would be helpful. Edited September 1, 20214 yr by TwistedCarnivore
October 15, 20214 yr How do I know if the container is working (I ported my config over from a Windows server so I figured the conf file would be similar). The domain is Google based. Is there a way to check the logs to see when the last attempt was made and if it was successful or not? Edited October 15, 20214 yr by God_TM
October 29, 20232 yr I have 2 unraid servers running ddclient, and I have the same error on both, turned on verbose WARNING: '' is not a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address WARNING: found neither IPv4 nor IPv6 address WARNING: unraid: unable to determine IP address with strategy use=ip WARNING: Could not determine an IP for unraid Both are set up to push IP to namecheap and both are behind Ubiquiti router.

I also noticed after my Fios went down for the first time in 5 years and I have a new IP and none of my services address was correctly updated 😐.

December 6, 20232 yr Same issue. If it's not going to be fixed, does anyone recommend a different DDNS updater container?
December 20, 20232 yr After encountering the same issue, I found a simple fix you guys can try. If you were previously using checkip.dyndns.org to check your IP (in ddclient config : web=checkip.dyndns.org), and you also had the setting SSL=yes, then this might also be the source of your errors. It seems the https of said website no longer seems to exist and thus cannot be used to check your IP. A simple fix is using cloudflare's trace function to check your IP if you want to keep SSL enabled. In ddclient config, simply change web=checkip.dyndns.org for web=cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace Otherwise, you might try changing change SSL=yes for SSL=no and keep using dyndns.org, but I have not tried that. Let me know how it goes.
