SABnzbd Forums

The feature request I have in mind works like plenty of routers out there that have a DynDNS Update feature, either with dyndns.org api, TZO.com or ZoneEdit.com, they all have API and i'm sure many of you have used that feature to access your sabnzbd, do dydnds then port forward and ccess it via http://yourname.dyndns.org:8080/sabnzbd/  I even have it on my own domain on zoneedit updating, but alot of people arent very router friendly, so the ability to have the feature inside the config of sabnzbd would be very valuable, since if I assume correctly sabnzbd starts automatically with windows, therefore it can update your IP efficiently.

The other feature that goes together with the DynDNS is upnp, this way again people who are not very router knowledgeble or friendly dont have to worry about doing a port forward for port 8080, assigning a static IP to that particular computer in their network and having the port forward go to that IP or hostname or mac address etc. This way it automatically goes through, with any upnp compatible router then going to yourname.dyndns.org:8080/sabnzbd it will automatically find the computer its on and go to it, no router intervention, just make sure upnp is enabled (default I believe on most routers out there) and enter your dyndns settings inside the config and voila, you are done.

Anyone with me?

I like both of your requests, but at the moment I am unsure as to how we/I would implement them. For the internal-webserver we use cherrypy to handle serving the pages, and I would look to them to supply upnp support rather than sabnzbd itself.

I'll have a further look into upnp, and the API's provided by tzo/zoneEdit.

The most popular DynDNS is definately the namesake DynDNS.org and they really have been around for a long long time, they even offer i thnk over a hundred domains in which you can get a hostname.theirdomain.com etc, if you take a look at firmware on most Linksys, D-link, netgear routers you will see a dyndns function in which you can enter your credential, router takes your WAN IP and sends it over.  In the case of Zoneedit i t is a simple http request, though for zoneedit you need your own domain, cant bum a subdomain from them to use.  If you are good with code get you the source for hyperwrt firmware for a linksys so you can see the source code on how to post to tzo, dyndns and zoneedit if you wish.
