Problem configuring dnsomatic as Dynamic Dns service

[gmoothart]

TrueNAS Scale 22.12.1

I would like to configure the TrueNas Dynamic DNS service to use Dns-o-Matic. But I am having trouble getting it to work, and getting any kind of error information about why it does not work. It did work, once, but although the TrueNas UI shows the service as running, it is not sending any new requests according to dnsomatic. There is an old thread in the FreeNAS forum which seems to suggest it just doesn't work, but I'm trying to verify if that is still the case in 2023 and with Scale.

So I have two basic questions:
1) How can I run the dynamic dns service in a way that shows me the output of the command and any errors?
2) Does anyone have suggestions for getting it to work?

Here is my config:

Code:

[truenas]> service dyndns config
+--------------------+-----------------------+
|                 id | 1                     |
|           provider | default@dnsomatic.com |
|             domain | all.dnsomatic.com     |
|           username | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx   |
|           password | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx   |
|        checkip_ssl | true                  |
|     checkip_server | myip.dnsomatic.com    |
|       checkip_path |                       |
|                ssl | true                  |
| custom_ddns_server |                       |
|   custom_ddns_path |                       |
|             period | 300                   |
+--------------------+-----------------------+

TIA,
Gabe

I got it working. DNS-O-Matic says to use the domain "all.dnsomatic.com" to update all registered services. That does not seem to work. But I can add the services individually. A script I found has the helpful comment that hostname/domain "is the part after the double colon (::) on the DNSoMatic services page".
