In their example curl https://sync.afraid.org/u/CyTXMbtq5cPnLjEg5vKHTPDE/, CyTXMbtq5cPnLjEg5vKHTPDE is your token right? Or should I call it username? Thanks!

Maybe you can test the image qmcgaw/ddns-updater:freedns with this documentation to save me some time 😉 I called that CyTXMbtq5cPnLjEg5vKHTPDE as id but let me know if you think it should be something else.

sorry for the repeat if you already saw my email..

Tried to use :freedns and I get the following errror:

standard_init_linux.go:219: exec user process caused: exec format error

I am probably setting the config.json up incorrectly since I am not sure what you want for all the fields. I tried several different values but always got the same error. And as expected if I use the :latest version it complains about not having "freedns" as a provider.

I use the recommended method of Randomized Update Token and the only required field is the token/id, filled host and domain with my info for identification purpose only. i.e. If my ddns was my-host-name.any-domain.com

{
  "settings": [
        {
           "provider": "freedns",
           "domain": "any-domain.com",
           "host": "my-host-name",
           "id": "CyTXMbtq5cPnLjEg5vKHTPDE"
        }
    ]
}

command
http://sync.afraid.org/u/CyTXMbtq5cPnLjEg5vKHTPDE/ # token is fake :)

listed supported update styles, I have only used first so unable to help on others
Randomized UpdateToken | Default option, simple, secure, my personal favorite.
Username and Password, inline | Username and password as URI arguments, rather then the HTTP authentication
Username and Password | Uses HTTP authentication, if you'd rather use a username/password,
some routers like to implement this method or can be most easily adapted to this method
/nic/update | Uses HTTP authentication, I've seen update attempts like these hitting the server.

Nope you're not! It's just docker images built from branches are only built for amd64 CPUs, let me fix that to include all architectures (ARM etc.). It's building now (wait for the green tick just above this comment).

I use the recommended method of Randomized Update Token

I will change the id field to token then. The program needs the host and domain to DNS resolve them periodically and also to display them in the UI. And yes let's stick to the Randomized UpdateToken for now, adding more options doesn't really add any benefit.

Sorry for not including the OS in original message containing error. I am using arm64, raspberry OS 64bit.

It's rebuilt you can try pulling it again and it will pull for your arch. Also use token instead of id.

Ah! I added armv6 and armv7, but forgot about arm64! It should now be available to pull, sorry about that 😉 (if it's not wait for the build)

So it's working fine? Can I merge that in the main code and latest image? Thanks!

Far as I can tell it is working with no errors in the log. I changed my freedns ip to my phone's ip so it would have to reset it. It did. So in my limited test it worked, so yeah go ahead and merge it. Not sure if you are interested but you can add your app on their site. https://freedns.afraid.org/scripts/freedns.clients.php

Cool 🎉 I merged it into the base qmcgaw/ddns-updater image.
