I have discovered while doing a docker-compose up it will hang on

Reading history from database: domain URL.X host @

This happens when I do not have the correct HOME IP set within namecheap on my A record before DDNS-Updater boots up. Occasionally it will come up with the IP being off and will successfully change it.

After its running, I can get to the web interface and see that it successfully changed it. If my IP changes however, it doesn't look like its being recorded over on namecheap. All I get is:

 2020-05-31T04:35:17.344Z	WARN	unhealthy: lookup IP address of msrl.cc is 73.169.x.x instead of 73.169.x.x
ddns    | 2020-05-31T04:36:17.670Z	WARN	unhealthy: lookup IP address of msrl.cc is 73.169.x.x  instead of 73.169.x.x
ddns    | 2020-05-31T04:37:18.059Z	WARN	unhealthy: lookup IP address of msrl.cc is 73.169.x.x instead of 73.169.x.x

It gives me the warning but it doesn't update it. I can then do a docker-compose and it either goes through and changes it or hangs. I have no idea at this point.

@qdm12 commented on GitHub (May 31, 2020):

Hello there, thanks so much for pointing this out to me 👍

I just fixed it (an asynchronous error, it was exiting silently its update loop directly at the start, silly me!).

I tried it with a namecheap record, setting to 127.0.0.1 and it works now.

Please re-pull (once the build is done) 😉

Let me know if it works out for you! I'll make a release+docker tag if so as I'm (yet again) about to add a lot of changes for an interactive web ui.
