# r53-ddns
## Brief
this was intended to solve the problem of when your local ISP force renews your PublicIP and no one can reach your not-sure-if-toaster-or-minecraft-server.
what it ended up as, was instead a mockery of dynamic dns, progam/scripting, error handling, all in memory-safe rust. whatever that means, right?

## Assumptions
1. Your ISP randomly changes your PublicIP and that pisses you off.
1. You have no idea how DDNS is actually supposed to work.
- dns is all smoke and mirrors, confirmed.
1. You just want something that will curl `ipv4.icanhazip.com` and push the update to Route53.
1. You plan on handjamming this into a cron job on your webserver/loadbalancer.
1. ...
1. Profit.
Congratulations, this is the package for you.
## Setup
1. use output of below command to create the IAM policy
``` zsh
zone_id=<zone_id> envsubst < AllowRoute53RecordUpdate.policy
```
1. create IAM user, generate access keys for automated service
1. log into aws with the acct on the machine where you install this binary
```
aws sso login --profile
```
1. setup a user-level cron job to poll at your leisure
```
0 * * * * ~/home/lost/.r53-update-dns.sh
```
## Usage
```
$ r53-ddns -h
A CLI tool for correcting drift between your PublicIP and Route53 DNS A RECORD
Usage: r53-ddns --zone-id <ZONE_ID> --domain-name <DOMAIN_NAME>
Options:
-z, --zone-id <ZONE_ID> DNS ZONE ID (see AWS Console Route53)
-d, --domain-name <DOMAIN_NAME> DOMAIN NAME (ex. 'docs.rskio.com.')
-h, --help Print help
```
### Drift Detected
``` zsh
$ r53-ddns -z ${aws_dns_zone_id} -d smp.rskio.com.
```
```
The dynamic IP provided by the ISP has drifted. 10.0.11.201 -> 10.0.88.219
Requested DNS record update to PublicIP: 10.0.88.219
Change ID: /change/C04224022UE1ZQA26RE7O, Status: Pending
Change ID: /change/C04224022UE1ZQA26RE7O, Status: Insync
The change request has been completed.
```
### No Drift Detected
``` zsh
$ r53-ddns -z ${aws_dns_zone_id} -d example.com.
```
```
The DNS record is currently up to date with the public IP: 10.0.88.219
```
### Tests
Yeah, I have em! Well... one of them.

## Q&A
> Why are you doing AWS calls instead of us nslookup and compare that?
Why in the world would internal DNS give me a PublicIP? Imagine not implementing internal DNS.
> Why did you do create this monster?
To prove to myself that with the help of LLMs that even I could go from nothing to a deployed tokio async rust binary in less than 8 hours. And thats exactly what I did.
> wen IPv6?
Stfu, John. How about, wen PR?
