To get the client:
$ wget http://www.no-ip.com/client/linux/noip-duc-linux.tar.gz
$ tar xvf noip-duc-linux.tar.gz
$ cd noip-2.1.9-1/
$ make
$ make install
If you get an error after typing this command, use this command then try again sudo apt-get install gcc
now as root user we configure the client like this : -
$ /usr/local/bin/noip2 -C
then you will be asked a series of options for your no-ip.org details for example email registered for account , password , blah blah . Follow this step by step and when asked for update interval select 5 ( for every 5 minutes )
You can now simply run noip2 as root and, as a daemon, it will update the server. With option -S all currently running daemons will be listed. To kill one of the daemons use the -K option.
To run the daemon automatically when the machine is booted place the following script into /etc/init.d/noip2:
type
sudo nano /etc/init.d/noip2 and copy and paste the below, then press ctrl + x to save it.
#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/noip2
# Supplied by no-ip.com
# Modified for Debian GNU/Linux by Eivind L. Rygge <eivind@rygge.org>
# . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions # uncomment/modify for your killproc
DAEMON=/usr/local/bin/noip2
NAME=noip2
test -x $DAEMON || exit 0
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting dynamic address update: "
start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/noip2.pid \
--make-pidfile --exec $DAEMON
echo "noip2."
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down dynamic address update:"
start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/noip2.pid \
--oknodo --retry 30 --exec $DAEMON
echo "noip2."
;;
restart)
echo -n "Restarting dynamic address update: "
start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/noip2.pid \
--oknodo --retry 30 --exec $DAEMON
start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/noip2.pid \
--exec $DAEMON
echo "noip2."
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
Make sure it is executable:
# chmod 0755 /etc/init.d/noip2
Also make sure you give the daemon root privelages by:
# chown root:root /usr/local/bin/noip2
Now if you have done everything correctly as root user just type :
noip2
that will start the process
& to see if its running as root type noip2 -S
enjoy
new2
