How to use EGI FedCloud Dynamic DNS service
Using EGI FedCloud Dynamic DNS service is very simple and intuitive via GUI portal. Just go to https://nsupdate.fedcloud.eu and follow the menu in the portal. Concretely:
- Dynamic DNS service uses EGI CheckIn for authentication. If you have not EGI account, please register via https://sso.egi.eu/admin/
- Log into Dynamic DNS service portal using EGI account via menu "Login" and click on "egi" button
- Use "Overview" -> "Add host" to register a new hostname in an available domain
- Follow the instruction after host creation for IP assignment/update. In most cases, you just need to add a command "curl https://YOUR_HOSTNAME:HOST_SECRET@nsupdate.fedcloud.eu/nic/update" into cloud_init file for VMs.
- You can edit/update/delete your registered hostnames in the "Overview" menu
