No-IP Cookbook

This cookbook installs the No-IP agent on a node, allowing you to access the node using a dynamic DNS name.

Supported Platforms

• CentOS 7.2
• Ubuntu 14.04

Attributes

• interval - Integer - Number of seconds between updates
• username - String - The username at noip.com

Encrypted data bags

• [:credentials]['noip']['password'] - String - The password at noip.com

Usage

Include no-ip::default in your run list. You need to specify the username and password
for the noip.com account you want to use.

Create the password using Chef Vault:

$ knife vault create credentials noip '{"password":"my-secret-password"}' \
                                      -A "admin1,admin2" \
                                      -S "name:my-node-name"

This would set the password to my-secret-password, allowing admin1 and admin2 to see the password and make it available to the node with the name my-node-name. Adjust these values to your liking.
