pyrocro/auto-update-route53 repository overview

⁠Description

A docker container to auto update "A records" (main domain name not subdomains) for a a given domain on Amazon's AWS Route53.

My use case: Self-hosted services behind non-static IP address AKA your normal internet home connection. It periodically updates the route53 A record with my dynamic IP address only 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}
• RECORD_IDS {Only update A record(s) listed here. You can have 1 or multiple seperated by comma eg. RECORD_IDS= ID1 eg.2 RECORD_IDS= ID1,ID2,ID3 }

AWS regions (use value for HOSTING_ZONE_ID environment variable according to your region)
