How install and configure inadyn

[Skin]

Installation and configuration of inadyn on VTI and VIX images for being able to use service no-ip:
1) Download enigma2-plugin-extensions-inadyn.vuplus_1.2-r0_mipsel.ipk.
2) Copy it with ftp on the receiver in the /tmp folder
3) connect to the receiver in telnet and type the following command: ipkg install /tmp/enigma2-plugin-extensions-inadyn.vuplus_1.2-r0_mipsel.ipk
4) Modify in the receiver the file inadyn.conf in /var/etc in the following way:
--background
--update_period_sec 060 (indicate time interval with which it comes controlled if the ip address is changed)
--username (yours login of the service)
--password (yours password of the service)
--dyndns_system default@no-ip.com
--alias (the address that you have set up to your host, es.: mioweb.no-ip.com)
--forced_update_period 86400
--log_file /var/log/inadyn.log (set up this for the log file)
5) Modify the /usr/bin/enigma2.sh and before the line:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libopen.so.0.0 /usr/bin/enigma2
add:
inadyn
6) reboot the receiver. If all it has been executed correctly, read the /var/log/inadyn.log in order to verify the correct run of the system.

Great post Skin, thank you. Made it a sticky

[fintannl]

followed the instructions exactly. had to reflash box as system would not reboot after the changes

I've make this installation at my friends 3 times, without problems. I suppose one problem with your configuration of the /usr/bin/enigma2.sh.

Do you mean to add "inadyn" infront of "LD_PRELOAD...", or on the line above...?

cd /home/root
inadyn
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libopen.so.0.0 /usr/bin/enigma2

did you test on VIX or VTI

you may have noticed other members getting error code 127 when installing this ipk. likewise i get this same error code. have you any idea why this might be

[fintannl]

Below is the error received when trying to install the ipk package for inadyn
root@bm750:~# ipkg install /tmp/*.*
Installing enigma2-plugin-extensions-inadyn.vuplus (1.2-r0) to root...
Configuring enigma2-plugin-extensions-inadyn.vuplus

When i go to /usr/lib/opkg/info/enigma2-plugin-extensions-inadyn.vuplus.postinst I can see that the file contains the following
#!/bin/sh
exit0


so anybody got any idea on how to resolve this

ok finally i've figured this out. inadyn is in fact already installed in the vix image. it just isn't activated. so you go to /etc/inadyn.conf and edit the file with your individual details for your dyndns/no-ip account. then telnet to the box and simply type inadyn. this starts the inadyn process and you will find the inadyn logfile in /tmp. however should you restart the Vu+ you must remember that you will need to restart inadyn also. this problem is solved by updating the /usr/bin/enigma2.sh file and adding the command line 'inadyn'. then just reboot the box and all should be good

It's correct.

all, i have battled with this for some time. prior to vu+ i have 3 years of experience in dm800 and have always used inadyn. yet i am still not happy. what i siad initially is not true. inadyn is not by default on the vix image. my guess here is that when i installed the ipk supplied by skin the inadyn files were imported to the necessary directories. so the inadyn.conf file was in the /etc/ directory. now i really want this to work, but for starters the ipk inadyn file does not do what is required. likewise the other option of loading inadyn and inadyn_script does not work. i have crashed my vu+ so many times trying to get this right as its a great plugin. so i accept no credit. i'm using vix 1.1 (what an image) and nothing suggested on this forum currently corrects the inadyn conundrum.

what i did do was prove hat it was possible to get inadyn to work on a working image but every time i reboot the box it hangs. so i'm sorry, as of yet i have not solved this problem. what i find is strange is that when i remove all the files and executable commands the box sill wont boot under the vix image. simply weird.

bottom line. inadyn is a hugely important plugin and i really hope that vix can supply this as a workable downloadable solution. my knowledge (be it some years at linux) is not good enough to get this solution to work manually.

On my VU+ with VIX or VTI works fine, if i reset the router the inadyn change ip. If i reboot the receiver, the inadyn works too. Other friends has resolved with my guide. I use no-ip.
