What is this?
DDNS-GO is a dynamic DNS tool: it watches your public IPv4 or IPv6 address and automatically updates your DNS records whenever it changes, so your domain always points to your current IP.

Then configure it in the browser — nothing else to install first.

VMs sometimes get an address without real access, and on Windows/Mac prefer the native install since Docker Desktop lacks --net=host mode.

VMs sometimes get an address without real access, and on Windows/Mac prefer the native install since Docker Desktop lacks --net=host mode.What systems does it run on?macOS, Windows and Linux, on ARM, x86 and RISC-V architectures — so desktops, servers, ARM boards and NAS devices all work.

The interval is configurable, and a cache option makes it compare with the DNS provider only every N cycles — so it can watch the local IP frequently without hitting provider rate limits.
