How to update both the domain and subdomain through docker compose?

[chlodowich]

Hello! As mentioned here #19 , multiple concurrent updates seem implemented.

However, after setting up docker compose with the environment variables as so:
"DOMAIN=my.domain",
"SUBDOMAINS=*",

only the A record of *.my.domain is getting updated , while my.domain is not. I am not very tech savvy, so there's probably something I am missing here.

Try:

SUBDOMAINS: "@,my_other_subdomain,my_subsubdomain.my_subdomain"

For more Infos, see: #7 (comment)

As I am not really an expert on DNS, could you explain what the @ sign means? Indeed, everything seems to work now, when I specify the @ sign for the subdomains environment variable. Before I just left it empty.

The "@" symbol is a placeholder used to represent "the current domain" as in root domain.

@ A free standing @ is used to denote the current origin. [0]

It's handy if you want to set the root domain and subdomains. But I also tested it without subdomain, you should also be able to leave it empty.

I updated the readme, if you have still have trouble updating the root domain please reopen the issue.

thank you so much! Indeed, this fixed it :)

Is there a way I can use the "@" to configure my root domain, while still using the wildcard? I tried "SUBDOMAINS: "@,*" and it didn't seem to help.

@kandykarter, This works, just test it:

version: "3"
services:
  porkbun-ddns:
    image: "mietzen/porkbun-ddns:latest"
    container_name: porkbun-ddns
    environment:
      DOMAIN: "my-domain.com" # Your Porkbun domain
      SUBDOMAINS: '@,*' # Subdomains comma spreaded
      SECRETAPIKEY: "xxx" # Your Porkbun Secret-API-Key
      APIKEY: "xxx" # Your Porkbun API-Key
    restart: unless-stopped

porkbun-ddns  | 2024-04-02 17:22:19,338 INFO     Sleeping... 300s

Please test it again, if it still fails open a new issue including the content of your docker-compose.yml file and the log output of docker compose up

Oh, weird! Will try it again, maybe I just messed something up somewhere. Thanks for the quick response!

[kandykarter]

I had it set in reverse before ("*,@"), but setting it like in your example seems to have worked! Weird! Thanks for the help.

@kandykarter yes that is a bug, I fixed it in #49

Edit: I will release a fixed version after I merged #48
