Ideally, now you should be able to start the service with service command. sudo chmod +x sudo update-rc.d noip2.sh defaults etc/rc.d/init.d/functions # uncomment/modify for your killproc So, let’s create a service for it so that we can control it via service command. Fix permissions on files and then drop in an init.d script chmod 600 chown root:root /usr/local/etc/nf vi /etc/init.d/noip2.sh Paste the following in the file and save it # systemctl enable rviceįailed to enable unit: Unit file rvice does not exist. via systemctl). That means if you try the following commands, you get errors: systemctl status noip2 But the problem is if you reboot your server it won’t start automagically and also noip2 is not running as a service (i.e. Now at this point you can just run it and it will run like normal.

SSH to your Linux server and sudo -s yourself to gain root access and install pre-requisites. Now let’s get to it: Install pre-requisites If you’re familiar with it then you can skip parts to get to the right sections to either use init.d or systemd, so feel free. I know, I know I overdid it but it doesn’t hurt and now you will have multiple ways to control it. This post attempts to fix that problem by installing required packages to run the make command, install noip2 binary, fix file permissions if missing, create an init.d script for service command, create a systemd file so that we can control it via systemd and finally enable it via systemctl.

But the instructions are lacking as if you reboot your server, it doesn’t work anymore because it doesn’t run on startup. Ideally noip2 Dynamic DNS Update Client should continually checks for IP address changes in the background and automatically updates the DNS at No-IP whenever it changes. For example, I use for my Dynamic DNS updates and I found that the instructions for installing noip2 Dynamic Update Client is lacking clarity and not fit for purpose in latest Ubuntu servers. Often I find instructions from different vendors that are too generic and doesn’t really work the way you want it to.
