# ddupdate-config(8)

ddupdate configuration file setup tool.

## NAME

**dddupdate-config** - ddupdate configuration file setup tool.

## SYNOPSIS

**dddupdate-config**

## DESCRIPTION

A simple configuration script for **ddupdate**. Script provides a way to define address-plugin, service-plugin and hostname in an interactive way.

The set of available plugins loaded depends on environment variables. See PLUGIN LOADING in **[ddupdate(8)](/ddupdate/8.md)**.

## BUGS

Passwords given to ddupdate must use printable characters which does not require escaping. This is partly a limitation in the script code, partly due to the python netrc module capabilities.

Does not support  configuration of more advanced features like ipv6 and non-standard address-plugins beyond *web-default-ip* and *default-if*.
