Fail to check registration date and expiration date

[Ninitage]

Hi,
First, I would really thank you for that you made here, this is really awesome and useful for me.
Everything seems to work, except 'RegDate' and 'ExpiryDate', that I suppose to mean no way to renew the domain in case.
Update the domain is working well anyway.
I followed all the installing instructions and steps, configured 'freenom.conf' (fill my ID domain as well), also schedule it through systemd (I let you know I'm on Ubuntu, it doesn't work at first, I needed to add:

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

at the end of the service file and place services and timers files in '/lib/systemd/system/' create symlinks to '/etc/systemd/system' and '/etc/systemd/system/timers.target.wants/').
I've also checked my curl version, anyway I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 so no surprises...
When I'm enabling debug mode in the config file, that give me:

john@computer:~$ freenom.sh -l
DEBUG: debug=1 c_args=
DEBUG: conf scriptConf=/usr/local/etc/freenom.conf

Listing Domains and ID's...

As you can see, it doesn't get the RegDate and the ExpiryDate.
Did Freenom change something into their API that makes your script unable to get this information?

Thank you.

Hi @Ninitage

I tested the timers on Debian using make install. It uses /etc/systemd as thats where local/user unit files go while /lib/systemd is meant for (deb) packages (man systemd.unit).

Timers are supposed to use timers.target. By default systemd should already have correct dependencies set in basic.target (and hence multi-user), so not sure why you had to use multi-user.target directly. Will check on Ubuntu.

The missing date only happens when you set the domain/id in the conf, but not when leaving it out (or using cli option). I must have broken it in a previous commit, will fix it in the next version.

Just checked on Ubuntu and indeed it only accepts unit files in /lib/systemd/system. There's no dir for systemd under /usr/local and /etc/systemd/system needs systemctl --user. I'll change the installer and instructions.
