DIGITAL OCEAN DYNAMIC IP API CLIENT

A simple script in Go language to automatically update Digital ocean DNS records if you have a dynamic IP. Since it can be compiled on any platform, you can use it along with raspberrypi etc.

requirements

Requires Git and Go for building.

Requires that the record already exists in DigitalOcean's DNS so that it can be updated. (manually find your IP and add it to DO's DNS it will later be updated)

Usage

git clone https://github.com/anaganisk/digitalocean-dynamic-dns-ip.git

create a file ".digitalocean-dynamic-ip.json"(dot prefix to hide the file) and place it user home directory and add the following json

{
  "apikey": "samplekeydasjkdhaskjdhrwofihsamplekey",
  "domains": [
    {

      ]
    },
    {

          "name": "subdomainOrRecord2",
