ddns-updater (.jason file syntax)

[kattivius]

Greetings,
I have my .jason file configured to use with DDNS-UPDATER (docker container). it all works fine but I am looking for a nicer and shorter syntax.
NOTE
if you actually define a subdomain in the form of sub.domain.com you end up having sub.domain.com.domain.com at porkbun.
If you only define sub1 (no domain, only prefix), it works. (sub1.domain.com)
Here is how I have it and what I tried already: (note is now used to update with porkbun)
Now works likes this:

{
  "settings": [
    {
      "provider": "porkbun",
      "domain": "domain.org",
      "host": "Sub1",
      "api_key": "mykey",
      "secret_api_key": "mysecret",
      "ip_version": "ipv4",
      "ipv6_suffix": ""
    },
    {
      "provider": "porkbun",
      "domain": "domain.org",
      "host": "Sub2",
      "api_key": "mykey",
      "secret_api_key": "mysecret",
      "ip_version": "ipv4",
      "ipv6_suffix": ""
    },
    {
      "provider": "porkbun",
      "domain": "domain.org",
      "host": "Sub3",
      "api_key": "mykey",
      "secret_api_key": "mysecret",
      "ip_version": "ipv4",
      "ipv6_suffix": ""
    }
  ]
}

The following is what I tried but did not work:

{
  "settings": [
    {
      "provider": "porkbun",
      "domain": "domain.com",
      "host": [
        "sub1",
        "sub2",
        "sub3"
      ],
      "api_key": "key",
      "secret_api_key": "secret",
      "ip_version": "ipv4",
      "ipv6_suffix": ""
    }
  ]
}

also tried this:

{
  "settings": [
    {
      "provider": "porkbun",
      "domain": "domain.com",
      "host": ["sub1", "sub2"],
      "api_key": "sk1_7d119e3f656b00ae042980302e1425a04163c476efec1833q3cb0w54fc6f5022",
      "secret_api_key": "pk1_5299b57125c8f3cdf347d2fe0e713311ee3a1e11f11a14942b26472593e35368",
      "ip_version": "ipv4",
      "ipv6_suffix": ""
    }
  ]
}

This last one only takes the first subsomain in consideration

Do you know how to have this configuration that actually works using the multiple "Host" on the same line rather than repeating the all section for each host?

I am looking for a nicer and shorter syntax.

Use "host": "sub1,sub2", it's written in the readme 😉 No worry, I'm not judging you for skipping over this, the readme isn't that small!

you can specify multiple hosts for the same domain using a comma separated list. For example with "host": "@,subdomain1,subdomain2",.

Regarding the host naming, it's a bit of bad naming, it should be owner technically. See in this issue comment the point number 1.

For further simplications, see in that same issue comment the point number 2 which will allow the user to just specify a "domain" field with everything in there. For example abc.domain.com, *.domain.com, domain.com etc. in a still retro-compatible way.
