Like @slyfunky ... I Found my self with a bunch of linux-like scripts...
If you are trying to host with windows, take a look to this repo: https://github.com/slyfunky/Pango/blob/main/DNS.bat
I liked a lot your ideas, like getting dynamically the public ipv4.
Heres is my powershell code:
#!/usr/bin/env pwsh
# Currenty Only support for ipv4.
# zone / hostname
$hostname = $env:SERVICE_HOSTNAME
# HTTP Token got form https://dynv6.com/keys
$httpToken = $env:DYNV6_HTTP_TOKEN
# some service that returns your public ipv4
$publicIpProvider = $env:PUBLIC_IPv4_PROVIDER_SERVICE
if (-not $hostname) {
Write-Error "The environment variable 'SERVICE_HOSTNAME' is empty. Please set it before running the script."
exit 1
}
if (-not $httpToken) {
Write-Error "The environment variable 'DYNV6_HTTP_TOKEN' is empty. Please set it before running the script."
exit 1
}
if (-not $publicIpProvider) {
Write-Error "The environment variable 'PUBLIC_IPv4_PROVIDER_SERVICE' is empty. Please set it before running the script."
exit 1
}
# call to public ip provider
$publicIpProviderResponse = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $publicIpProvider -ErrorAction Stop
# check the response status code
if ($publicIpProviderResponse.StatusCode -ne 200) {
Write-Error "Request failed with status code: $($response.StatusCode)"
Write-Error "Try with other value for PUBLIC_IPv4_PROVIDER_SERVICE"
exit 1
}
# get ipv4
$ipv4 = $publicIpProviderResponse.Content
# dynv6 http api ipv4 url
$dynv6HTTPApiIpv4 = "https://ipv4.dynv6.com/api/update?ipv4=$ipv4&zone=$hostname&token=$httpToken"
$dynv6Response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $dynv6HTTPApiIpv4 -ErrorAction Stop
$dynv6Response.StatusCode

Here is a node.js implementation of the script, that can be built into an executable with pkg and scheduled using Systemd/Windows Task Scheduler
