no-ip

Noip.com Dynamic DNS update client built in Node.js. It makes easy to remote access your connected devices!

Install

The easiest way to get no-ip is with npm:

$ npm install no-ip --save

or having it globally installed and used as a standalone tool:

$ npm install -g no-ip

Example usage

var NoIP = require('no-ip')

var noip = new NoIP({
  hostname: 'hello-world.ddns.net',
  user: '[e-mail]',
  pass: 's3cr3tz'
})

noip.on('error', function(err){
  console.log(err)
})

noip.on('success', function(isChanged, ip){
  console.log(isChanged, ip)
})

noip.update() // Manual update, you can also provide a custom IP address

// noip.start() // start an automatic renewal every 1h by default or provide a custom ms.
// noip.stop() // stop the previously started automatic update

Events

.on('success', callback): The callback accepts two params isChanged and ip that gives you the current IP address your domain is currently pointing to and a boolean value indicating if an update was performed.

.on('error', callback): Called when an error occurs.

Methods

.update([ip]): Send an update request. Optionally you can provide a custom IP.

.start([ms]): Start an automatic renewal every 1h by default or provide a custom ms.

.stop(): Stop the automatic update.

.setOffline([boolean]): Sets the current host to offline status. Offline settings are an Enhanced / No-IP Plus feature. You should call the update method after this flag have been set.

.setIp([ip]): Set a custom IP Address for the update requests.

Standalone usage

If used standalone, I recommend you to start it with some process manager, like PM2.

$ no-ip -h hello-world.ddns.net -u hello -p s3cr3t -s

That start automatic DNS renewal once an hour. To see supported parameters and usage examples just type:

$ no-ip --help

Debug

This module makes use of the node DEBUG module. You can enable it setting the DEBUG env var to no-ip before the app starts:

$ DEBUG=no-ip
