# Home Assistant Add-on: DuckDNS
## Installation
Follow these steps to get the add-on installed on your system:
1. Navigate in your Home Assistant frontend to **Supervisor** -> **Add-on Store**.
2. Find the "DuckDNS" add-on and click it.
3. Click on the "INSTALL" button.
## How to use
1. Visit [DuckDNS.org](https://www.duckdns.org/) and create an account by logging in through any of the available account services (Google, Github, Twitter, Persona, Reddit).
2. In the `Domains` section, type the name of the subdomain you wish to register and click `add domain`.
3. If registration was a success, the subdomain is listed in the `Domains` section along with `current ip` being the public IP address of the device you are currently using to access `duckdns.org`. The IP address will be updated by the DuckDNS add-on.
4. In the DuckDNS add-on configuration, perform the following:
- Copy the DuckDNS token (listed at the top of the page where account details are displayed) from `duckdns.org` and paste into the `token` option.
- Update the `domains` option with the full domain name you registered. E.g., `my-domain.duckdns.org`.
## Configuration
Add-on configuration:
```yaml
lets_encrypt:
accept_terms: true
certfile: fullchain.pem
keyfile: privkey.pem
token: sdfj-2131023-dslfjsd-12321
domains:
- my-domain.duckdns.org
seconds: 300
```
### Option group `lets_encrypt`
The following options are for the option group: `lets_encrypt`. These settings
only apply to Let's Encrypt SSL certificates.
#### Option `lets_encrypt.accept_terms`
Once you have read and accepted the Let's Encrypt[Subscriber Agreement](https://letsencrypt.org/repository/), change value to `true` in order to use Let's Encrypt services.
#### Option `lets_encrypt.certfile`
The name of the certificate file generated by Let's Encrypt. The file is used for SSL by Home Assistant add-ons and is recommended to keep the filename as-is (`fullchain.pem`) for compatibility.
**Note**: _The file is stored in `/ssl/`, which is the default for Home Assistant_
#### Option `lets_encrypt.keyfile`
The name of the private key file generated by Let's Encrypt. The private key file is used for SSL by Home Assistant add-ons and is recommended to keep the filename as-is (`privkey.pem`) for compatibility.
**Note**: _The file is stored in `/ssl/`, which is the default for Home Assistant_
### Option: `ipv4` (optional)
By default, Duck DNS will auto detect your IPv4 address and use that.
This option allows you to override the auto-detection and specify an
IPv4 address manually.
If you specify a URL here, contents of the resource it points to will be
fetched and used as the address. This enables getting the address using
a service like https://api4.ipify.org/ or https://ipv4.wtfismyip.com/text
### Option: `ipv6` (optional)
By default, Duck DNS will auto detect your IPv6 address and use that.
This option allows you to override the auto-detection and specify an
IPv6 address manually.
If you specify a URL here, contents of the resource it points to will be
fetched and used as the address. This enables getting the address using
a service like https://api6.ipify.org/ or https://ipv6.wtfismyip.com/text
### Option: `token`
The DuckDNS authentication token found at the top of the DuckDNS account landing page. The token is required to make any changes to the subdomains registered to your account.
### Option: `domains`
A list of DuckDNS subdomains registered under your account. An acceptable naming convention is `my-domain.duckdns.org`.
### Option: `seconds`
The number of seconds to wait before updating DuckDNS subdomains and renewing Let's Encrypt certificates.
## Known issues and limitations
- To log in, DuckDNS requires a free account from any of the following services: Google, Github, Twitter, Persona or Reddit.
- A free DuckDNS account is limited to five subdomains.
- At time of writing, Duck DNS' own IPv6 autodetection
[does not actually work][duckdns-faq], but you can use the URL option
for `ipv6` to get around this, read on.
