[SOLVED] How to diagnose failure at the GnuDIP Server? Datasystems24.net / SDS-IP.de

Support

The old datasystems24.net GnuDIP server stopped updating DNS records and I was unable to connect to FreedomBox using my hostname.

I confirmed this by switching GnuDIP servers to ddns.freedombox.org which is working.

It’s an easy switch:

  • Create an account on https://ddns.freedombox.org/
    – select your hostname
    – choose the domain you want to use either fbx.one or freedombox.rocks
  • Update your domain name in plinth/sys/config to your new fully qualified domain name such as myfreedombox.freedombox.rocks
  • Update your DDNS page as described in the FreedomBox Wiki
  • Use Let’s Encrypt to get a new SSL certificate that matches your new DNS name
  • You’re done!
