Anthony

patron saint of lost machines

anthony is a daemon that keeps track of a machine's public IP, updates some DNS service when the machine's IP changes and can send out notifications when connectivity/address changes occur.

currently supports only GoDaddy as a DNS service and Mailgun for sending out notifications.

usage

build or download anthony-<latest>-fat.jar
get yourself a GoDaddy API key.
(optional) Get yourself a Mailgun API key. you will also need to configure your domain to use mailgun (see link above).
create a config file, called anthony.properties as follows:

domain=what.ever
pollIntervalMs=600000

godaddyKey=foo
godaddySecret=bar

#these are optional
notificationDomain=notifications.what.ever
notificationFrom=Tony
notificationTo=someone@some.where
