Usage

Run

godaddy help

to get a list of commands.

To get started first run

godaddy init

This will create a config file with default config. By default the config path is places at ~/.config/godaddy-cli-tools.json, this can be overidden with the -c flag.

A couple of things needs to be changed in this file to get started

domain: Change the domain from example.com to the main domain you want to create subdomains from
api_key: Your api key, see [[#getting-api-key]]
secret: Your secret

Watching IP for changes

One of the main use cases of this program is watching the public IP of the device it runs on and updating DNS records if the public IP changes.

To register a domain run:

godaddy register mysubdomain

and replcae mysubdomain with your subdomain.

This will create/update the record for this subdomain to point to the IP adress of the device command ran at and add the record to watch list.

To check for changes run

godaddy check

This will check if the domain has changed since the command was last run. If it is the first time the command is run then domains will be refreshed to point to current IP.

The program keeps track of last IP in a file located at ~/.lastip
