This role installs and configures DDclient. 'DDclient is a Perl client used to update dynamic DNS entries for accounts on Dynamic DNS Network Service Provider.'

This is a fork of Jonathan Rowlands ddclient, cred for a good base goes to him.

This role requires Ansible 1.4 or higher, and platform requirements are listed in the metadata file.

The variables that can be passed to this role and a brief description about them are as follows:

ddclient_syslog: "yes"
ddclient_ssl: "no"
ddclient_protocol: "namecheap"
ddclient_use: "web, web=checkip.dyndns.org/"
ddclient_server: "dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com"
ddclient_login: "mydomain.com"
ddclient_password: "'MY_PASSWORD'"
ddclient_subdomain: "mysubdomain"   # {{ mysubdomain }}.example.com    

None

Make some options optional. For example if we do not want to include the 'use' line at all, or we do not want to use a subdomain.

Add in defaults for well known domain registrars.
