Need update for "PorkBun" Dynamic DNS Clients

linuxdrake

I use the Dynamic DNS Client feature, and received the message from Porkbun stating the API endpoint is changing.

Can we ensure an update to the service is pushed out, as 12/1/24 the API name will be changed.
Email from Porkbun on the topic:

We know these kinds of changes are annoying but the time has come to separate the processing of incoming API commands from our website. In previous documentation the hostname porkbun.com was used for the API but we have recently updated it to api.porkbun.com and in the near future will start enforcing its use. Please update the hostname for our API to api.porkbun.com as soon as possible.

CRITICAL UPDATE DETAILS

Type: API Hostname Change

Old Value: porkbun.com

New Value: api.porkbun.com

Deadline: 2024-12-01 00:00:00 UTC

I got same email from Porkbun. How can we change API hostname?

linuxdrake

@LawRi Not sure, hence why I posted, I dont see any option to edit the API Endpoints in the UI.

@linuxdrake I got new mail from PorkBun

Hello,

Thanks for your email. It appears there's a submitted ticket for the issue on the Github repo.

https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient/issues/751

The URL will need to be updated in the ddclient code so you should be able to track that issue at the Github link.

Let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Best,

Aparently it's know issue with ddclient, we have to hope netgate will update dd client as soon as issue is solved.

Did negate update their ddn client for new Porkburn Api URL?

I thought that this was "important" to be pushed at least to patch management, but that wasn't the case. Without going to what I think ...this is solution "for now".

Before doing anything, backup your firewall configuration.

Install System_Patches package
After that go to System > Patches
Click on "Add new patch"
Put just "Description" of the patch and commit ID 4bd35eb:

Don't change anything else and click on save
After that under System > Patches you will see new line, and button "Fetch", click on that
After that click on "Apply"
Reboot

@harmonikas Thanks, I'll apply it

linuxdrake

Awesome, will give it a try tonight!

@LawRi

Prokburn support was updated recently - saw that here. It still doesn't work ?

LawRi

@Gertjan
Yes it’s working. Maybe that is the reason I can’t apply patch mentioned few posts before

@Gertjan

Hi there. To be clear. CE edition didn't get this update, and it's easy to check if you login using SSH and check patched file. That's what I did before sharing patching procedure. This method is needed because we didn't get official update for the stable release for CE users, in this case 2.7.2. As well this patch is not included in the patching plugin and that kinda sucks.

Hope that now, everything is in the order :).

CE edition

Oops.
wasn't thinking about CE or 2.7.2 as I'm not using that version.
I was talking about what I use - as stated - 24.11 = pfSense Plus.
Sorry.

The prok support of 2.7.2.hasn't been updated yet, afaik, as 2.7.2 needs to be updated.

Ok. For those who need to fix that error before update comes out, here is an instruction for a solution:

If you are on web interface:
- Open "Diagnostics" > "Edit File"
- Open file in /usr/local/pkg/acme/dnsapi/dns_porkbun.sh path
- Search for line which starts with PORKBUN_Api= (probably row 7) and change its value from "https://porkbun.com/api/json/v3" to "https://api.porkbun.com/api/json/v3"
- Save the file
- Rerun acme renewal process
If you have access to CLI
- Open Shell
- Open vi editor for /usr/local/pkg/acme/dnsapi/dns_porkbun.sh file
- Search for line which starts with PORKBUN_Api= (probably row 7)
- Press i to (INSERT) and change value from "https://porkbun.com/api/json/v3" to "https://api.porkbun.com/api/json/v3"
- Hit Esc and save file with :wq!
- Go back to Web interface and rerun acme renewal procedure
