RPI - Dynamic IP address

Create your own website using a Free Dynamic DNS service ( I used NoIP)

Once registered and installed the client on your Raspberry Pi you can create a startup script to automatically restart the client after a RPI reboot

• Create a script in /etc/init.d/noip

# sudo vi /etc/init.d/noip

      copy and paste the following:

#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/noip

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:     noip
# Required-Start: networking
# Required-Stop:
# Should-Start:
# Should-Stop:
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start noip at boot time
# Description: Start noip at boot time
### END INIT INFO

# . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions  # uncomment/modify for your killproc

DAEMON=/usr/local/bin/noip2
NAME=noip2
NOIP=`ps -ef|grep -q [n]oip2`
STATUS=$?

test -x $DAEMON || exit 0

case "$1" in
    start)
    echo -n "Starting dynamic address update: "
    start-stop-daemon --start --exec $DAEMON
    echo "noip2."
    ;;
    stop)
    echo -n "Shutting down dynamic address update:"
    start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo --retry 30 --exec $DAEMON
    echo "noip2."
    ;;

    restart)
    echo -n "Restarting dynamic address update: "
    start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo --retry 30 --exec $DAEMON
    start-stop-daemon --start --exec $DAEMON
    echo "noip2."
    ;;

    status)
        if [ ${STATUS} -eq "0" ];then
        echo "noip2 running..."
        else
        echo "noip2 Not running..."
        fi
    ;;

    *)
    echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}"
    exit 1
esac
exit 0

• Set exec permissions

# sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/noip

• Add script to Startup/Shutdown

# sudo update-rc.d noip defaults
