Hi,
here is a small guide in order to install a dynamic dns service on Xbian.
This is a revision of my old gude about it posted on ubuntu forums
The service is free, let's start.
First of all register your account on Freedns:
http://freedns.afraid.org/menu/
Freedns offer a bunch of domain names I choose ignorelist.com:
Assume that you register: <your_host>.ignorelist.com
Install inadyn:
Once logged on open the url:
http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/
Select the link Direct URL beside <your_host>.ignorelist.com
Copy everything from the right of the ? in the browser address bar (alphanumeric string) something like 30ExSWg5MTRoMnB6XXZBUXZQ9999BTkxODQxNI==
Create configuration file of inadyn:
And save this content:
Add inadyn to crontab:
Edit the file to add the following line and save:
Reboot your PI
ping <your_host>.ignorelist.com
Done!
