No-IP Setup on WD MyCloud

[Mohamed_Saleh]

Continuing the discussion from How can I install no-ip updater client on MyCloud?:

@jmolg

Is it possible install no-ip updater client on mycloud?

I am not a Linux expert.

This is the tar gzip file, but the instruccion says that I need to compile

noip-duc-linux.tar.gz

This is the instruction

1. cd /usr/local/src
2. wget http://www.no-ip.com/client/linux/noip-duc-linux.tar.gz
3. tar xzf noip-duc-linux.tar.gz
4. cd no-ip-2.1.9
5. make
6. make install

If you get “make not found” or “missing gcc” then you do not have the gcc compiler tools on your machine.  You will need to install these in order to procede.

Read the README file in the no-ip-2.1.9 folder for instructions on how to make the client run at startup.  This varies depending on what Linux distribution you are running.

Thanks

Dears,
I’ve followed the steps here to install noip daemon on MyCloud and I got it working and everything but when I restarted my router to see if the IP on no-ip will change or not it wasn’t changed

Steps I followed were for the user @Limecat

No make or make install needed! Ubuntu has a binary for the armhf architecture (which will work on the WD My Cloud)

You can find the binary inside this deb file here: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/86290483/noip2_2.1.9-3_armhf.deb5

All you need is the noip2 binary that is inside. I’ve unpacked the deb file using 7zip on my windows machine and then uploaded the noip2 binary to the WD My Cloud using WinSCP. I’ve put it into /usr/local/bin

This binary will look for a conf file in /var/lib/noip2 but that directory does not exist, so create it first inside WinSCP and give it 755 permissions

Then log in via PuTTY or another SSH client and run the configuration: noip2 -C

It will ask you which interface (choose eth0)

Then your username and password

Then update interval and if you want to run anything

Then it writes the noip2.conf file into /var/lib/noip2

Afterwards, to start it run noip2

You can check it’s running by running: pidof noip2

To stop it: kill -15 with the proccessID you got from the pidof

I configured it correctly and it told me actually my correct domain at no-ip
and if I ran pidof noip2 I get it’s pid which means the it’s running

I’m running firmware v3

So any help would be appreciated

Thanks.

I’m on v4 firmware and using both GoDaddy and FreeDNS updated via python/shell scripts. Not sure about NoIP though I have my netgear router updating it internally.

Perhaps you could try just with plain script https://github.com/AntonioCS/no-ip.com-bash-updater

I tested the IP update URL and seems working.

Uh, My mistake 30 in the conf file (interval) meant 30 minutes and not 30 seconds
Changed it to 5 and will see how it goes

Thanks a lot
