# DynuIPRefresher
A lightweight C++ application to setup a service for refreshing a dynamic IP to the Dynu servers.
Dynu.com is a free DDns service and provides an API.
There is also a GUI for Windows Users and beginners.
## Installation
Download the latest Release at [Release_Page](https://github.com/Lukas-Heiligenbrunner/DynuIPRefresher/releases).
I'm providing executables for Debian/Ubuntu (.deb) and RHEL/Debian (.rpm).
But you can still compile the code my your own (see build section).
## Configuration
There is a configuration file `/etc/dynuiprefresher.cfg` where you have to specify the DYNU API key (get it from their homepage), the domainid and your domain.
Furthermore, you can optionally specify a Telegram API key and a Chat ID if you want to be notfied when your local ip changes.
To enable and start the service:
`systemctl enable dynuiprefresher.service` and `systemctl start dynuiprefresher.service`
## Usage
First of all configure the right keys in the `/etc/dynuiprefresher.cfg` or `%appdata%\DynuIpRefresher\dynuiprefresher.cfg` config file.
Afterwards use the following options:
```
help page:
[-h] [--help] print this help page
[-v] [--version] print the software version
[-f] [--force] force refresh of ip
[-l] [--loop] infinite loop to refresh ip every five minutes
[-c] [--checkconfig] validate configuration
[-ip] [--currentip] get current global ip
[no argument] normal ip check and refresh
```
### GUI
You can also build the grapical user inteface if you want.
There you can manually trigger a refresh in a gui and set all the config parameters.
