# netcup DNS
Update DNS A/AAAA records with your current external IP address using the netcup DNS API.
## Installation
On Arch Linux:
```shell
make
```
With `pip`:
```shell
make install-pip
```
## Configuration
For each netcup customer, create a `.json` configuration file inside `/etc/netcup-dpns`.
There is an [example configuration](cfg/example.json).
## TODOs
Alternative external IP detection:
```python
def external_ip_upnp():
"""

Didn't work for me. Even after double checking fritz.box settings:
fritz.box > Heimnetz > Netzwerk > Statusinformationen über UPnP übertragen
"""
import miniupnpc
u = miniupnpc.UPnP()
u.discoverdelay = 1000
u.discover()
u.selectigd()
print('external ip address: {}'.format(u.externalipaddress()))
```
