Implementation of DynDns update protocol as a Google Cloud Function to dynamically update records in Google Cloud DNS.

Rename domains.sample.json to domains.json and edit accordingly with your Google Cloud project, domain, zone name, and dynamic records with credentials of your choosing.

npm install to pull in dependencies.

You will need to create a service account and a key for it to be able to access Cloud DNS API and make changes locally.

$ gcloud iam service-accounts create \
  dnsadmin@YOUR_PROJECT_ID.iam.gserviceaccount.com

$ gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding YOUR_PROJECT_ID \
  --member serviceAccount:dnsadmin@YOUR_PROJECT_ID.iam.gserviceaccount.com \
  --role roles/dns.admin

$ gcloud iam service-accounts keys create \
  dnsadmin.creds.json \
  --iam-account dnsadmin@YOUR_PROJECT_ID.iam.gserviceaccount.com

Use npm start to start the local Cloud Functions emulator and deploy the function under /nic.

$ GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=dnsadmin.creds.json npm start

npm run-script deploy-prod will use gcloud command and deploy the function to production.

There are no unit or integration tests, yet. In the mean time, you can "test in production" just with curl.

# Set an IPv6 address for test.example.com
$ curl -u test_username:test_password \
  'https://us-central1-YOUR_PROJECT_ID.cloudfunctions.net/nic/update?hostname=test.example.com&myip=2001:DB8:7357::bdd'

# Set the IPv4 address of test.example.com to client IP
$ curl -4 -u test_username:test_password \
  'https://us-central1-YOUR_PROJECT_ID.cloudfunctions.net/nic/update?hostname=test.example.com'

Both success and failure logs of the function goes to its console. You can read them from the local emulator with functions read logs, and from production with gcloud beta functions logs read commands.
