TLDR: ZONEDNS information provided as per sample config.json, however logs show that the program is expecting "username" and "password"

Is this urgent: Yes

@fredericrous commented on GitHub (May 18, 2021):

the example is not perfectly clear but the documentation is.
Basically either you use DynHost (aka dynamic) or ZoneDNS (aka api)

example for the zonedns mode:

        {
            "provider": "ovh",
            "domain": "myserver.tld",
            "host": "@",
            "mode": "api",
            "app_key": "some-api-key",
            "app_secret": "some-app-secret",
            "consumer_key": "some-consumer-key"
        }

Hey guys, I just pushed 276c1c02fd which removes the dependency on OVH's go library, can you try pulling :latest and see if it works using the zoneDNS (API)? If it doesn't work, I made a release image tag v2.3.0 just before changing this, so you can use that to fallback. Thanks!

Also I'm updating the documentation now to close this issue.

I saw a weird logging error. I was getting 2021/06/28 02:32:46 ERROR /updater/data/updates.json validation error: IP 1 of 1 is empty for record {"domain":"mydomain.tld","host":"@","ips":[{"ip":"","time":"2021-06-12T19:47:48.567727675Z"}]}

I removed the updates.json file and was still getting the same issue. I then decided to remove the providers one by one to try to isolate the issue. I removed the OVH ones, then I put them back and the error doesn't appear anymore... 🤦

Thanks for letting me know! Were these using the Zone API? The only line I see is this one where we return the IP address given to do the update as the new IP, so I don't really see why it would be set to an empty string, strange 🤔 I'll dig more later.

hi gents, I've followed the link you provide to create an app + api keys. But I end up with this :

question is, where can I find my customer key ?

thanks !
