## What it is
A self-hosted Dynamic DNS service similar to DynDNS or NO-IP, built in Go on top of the PowerDNS Remote Backend. It exposes a small web service so clients can update their IP address by calling a URL via curl, with stale hosts removed automatically.

## Use cases
- self-host a dynamic DNS service on my own domain
- keep a hostname pointed at my changing home IP
- replace DynDNS or NO-IP with my own DDNS server
- update DNS records automatically via curl when my IP changes
- delegate a subdomain to my own DNS server for dynamic updates

## When to avoid
- you want a ready-made hosted DDNS provider without running your own server
- you need a DynDNS/NO-IP-compatible client API, which is not implemented
- your DNS registrar does not allow setting NS records for subdomains

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: maintenance
- function: networking, self-hosted, http-server, web-framework
- domain: networking, self-hosted, web-development
- platform: self-hosted, go
