Description
A docker container to auto update “A records” (main domain name not subdomains) for a given domain on Amazon’s AWS Route53.
DockerHub Link
auto-update-route53
My use case:
Self-hosted services behind non-static IP address AKA your normal internet home connection.
This updates the route53 A record with my dynamic IP address if it changes.
Environment variables:
- AWS_REGION {see AWS regions table below (e.g. us-east-1)}
- HOSTING_ZONE_ID {get this from your AWS Route53 console management GUI}
- DOMAIN_NAME {the domain who’s A record you would like updated automatically)
- ACCESS_KEY_ID {AWS account access key with read/write access to Route53}
- SECRET_KEY {secret key of the AWS account-obtain this when you created the user on AWS}
- SYNC_EVERY_SECONDS {Check for mismatch of external IP address interval in seconds}
AWS regions (use value for HOSTING_ZONE_ID environment variable according to your region)
