Dynacord

Dynacord is a Ruby gem, designed to give you an easy interface to updating an A record based on the public IP address from where it's used. It is designed in a way to work with multiple DNS providers, and to be easily expanded.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'dynacord'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install dynacord

Usage

To get the current public IP address (from the host where the call is made):

require 'dynacord'
ipaddr = Dynacord::Address.get

This method also accepts a single parameter as the host to use for determining the IP address:

require 'dynacord'
ipaddr = Dynacord::Address.get('http://myiplookup.example.com')

The mechanism for updating an A record with this IP address varies, based on the provider that you're using for DNS.

Providers

Providers are DNS providers, that Dynacord can use to update an A record. Each provider has different requirements, so see the class for the provider you're using to get more specific details.
