I am looking at setting up a system that will need a domain name and DDNS.

I'm curious what the current state of these things are in openSUSE. I guess the main thing is support for an application that informs the DDNS service of the current IP address for the machine. Any preferences? Providers to avoid?
opensuse obviously, as usual, has ancient package versions for example using ddclient :(
ddclient upstream original project does support much more "providers" of these kind in their scripts etc opensuse? too bad :/
I used this stuff ages ago but for many many years I didn't need anything like that on an openSUSE system anymore because at the edge of a dynamic IP endpoint I never use openSUSE anymore. Really wondering how many of those cases still exist? I always have some sort of dedicated device (call it a router ;-)) inbetween taking care about that termination.
But I do not question that there are single usecases where it might be relevant. In that case some user hopefully finds the time to update the component we have in openSUSE ;-)
I see that the router we are looking at supports a couple ddns providers. Like DynDns and no-ip. I don't know if it supports others. The docs are incomplete to me. We haven't received it yet. The ddclient in openSUSE Tumbleweed is 3.9.1 (Jan 2020). In Leap 15.x, it is 3.8.3 (May 2015). The current ddclient is 3.10.2 (May 2022). So, for Tumbleweed (which I'm using in this system), not as ancient as one might have expected. Odd that Leap hasn't moved to the one set up for Tumbleweed. I think it's Perl scripts. But it seems cleaner to let the router manage this since it's sort of in it's domain of tasks. -- Roger Oberholtzer
