How to setup

The setup process is simple:

• If installed correctly you should find Oink!'s configuration file in /etc/oink_ddns/config.json. Open the file with your text editor of choice.
• In the configuration file you should find the following contents that must be filled in:

⚠️ In case you do not already have an API key, you will need to request one at: https://porkbun.com/account/api

{
    "global": {
        "secretapikey": "<your secret api key here>",
        "apikey": "<your api key here>",
        "interval": 900,
        "ttl": 600
    },
    "domains": [
        {
            "domain": "<your domain here>",
            "subdomain": "<your subdomain here>"
        }
    ]
}

If you want to update more than one domain or subdomain, you can add new domains like so:

{
    "global": {
        "secretapikey": "<your secret api key here>",
        "apikey": "<your api key here>",
        "interval": 900,
        "ttl": 600
    },
    "domains": [
        {
            "secretapikey": "<override secret api key here>",
            "apikey": "<override api key here>",
            "domain": "<your domain here>",
            "subdomain": "<your subdomain here>",
            "ttl": 800
        },
        {
            "domain": "<your domain 2 here>",
            "subdomain": "<your subdomain 2 here>"
        }
    ]
}

Entries must at least contain the domain and subdomain fields.

• Enable and start the service using systemd

⚠️ Make sure to enable API ACCESS in your porkbun domain's control panel

systemctl enable oink_ddns
systemctl start oink_ddns

• You are done! Your domain DNS record should update automatically
