NoIP.com Dynamic IP

It is difficult to host a web server with your home internet when the IP keeps changing. To overcome that we can use a free service provided by NoIP.com

Copy the contents below into a file name “update_ip.sh”

myip=$(curl checkip.amazonaws.com) 
username='oofnivek' 
password='password' 
hostname='oofnivek.ddns.me' 
curl "http://$username:$password@dynupdate.no-ip.com/nic/update?hostname=$hostname&myip=$myip"

Remember to give your “update_ip.sh” file execute rights by doing

chmod +x update_ip.sh

Lastly configure crontab to execute it say every 5 minutes.
