With the namecheapDNS component you can automatically update your dynamic DNS entry.

Namecheap only supports IPv4 adresses to update.

To use the component in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
namecheapdns:
  host: '@'
  domain: example.com
  access_token: 0123_Dynamic_DNS_Password

{% configuration %} host: description: The host part or "subdomain" part you want to update (If you want your domain leave the @ sign) required: true type: string domain: description: Your namecheap TLD (example.com). required: true type: string access_token: description: The namecheap "Dynamic DNS Password" you can find under the "Advanced DNS" Tab required: true type: string {% endconfiguration %}
