Dynamic DNS for Dreamhost

A simple script and Dockerfile to dynamically update a DNS record on a Dreamhost account.

Setup

Get an API key from Dreamhost here with All dns functions allowed

You can run the script standalone if you have requests installed:

env API_KEY=<dreamhost_api_key> DOMAIN=<my_domain.com> python update_dns.py

You can run the script in a docker container:

docker run -it --rm \
    -e API_KEY=<dreamhost_api_key> \
    -e DOMAIN=<my_domain.com>

There are two required and on optional environment variables:

API_KEY - An API key from Dreamhost with All dns functions allowed
DOMAIN - A comma separated list of domain names that have DNS enabled on the Dreamhost account
IP_LOOKUP_URL - Optional: a URL which returns the IP address of the user as plain text
- By default this is https://api.ipify.org/?format=text
- Another one could be https://wtfismyip.com/text
