Reported error when adding a DuckDNS provider with
subdomains="nl-theta42.duckdns.org" (the full name, as DuckDNS's own
site displays it):
{"name": "EntryNotFound", "message": "Domain:duckdns.org does not exists"}
listDomains() blindly appended ".duckdns.org" to whatever was entered,
turning "nl-theta42.duckdns.org" into
"nl-theta42.duckdns.org.duckdns.org". tld-extract doesn't know
duckdns.org is a shared suffix, so it parsed that malformed string
down to domain "duckdns.org" — surfacing as a confusing EntryNotFound
two layers away from the actual cause (Domain.create's internal
lookup).
Add __normalizeLabel() to strip a trailing ".duckdns.org" (and
lowercase) before use, so both "myhost" and "myhost.duckdns.org" work
identically. Also make __label()'s existing suffix-strip
case-insensitive to match.
Reported error when adding a DuckDNS provider:
TypeError: this.domains.map is not a function
at Proxy.updateDomains (models/dns_provider.js:185:37)
DnsProvider.__intraModel merges `{...DnsProvider._keyMap,
...Provider._keyMap}`, so a provider-defined field with the same name
as one of DnsProvider's own (created_by, updated_by, name,
dnsProvider, domains, id) silently overwrites it. DuckDNS defined a
`domains` field (the operator-supplied comma-separated subdomain
list), which replaced DnsProvider's `domains` relation (rel: 'many' to
Domain, populated by updateDomains()) — so `this.domains` stopped
being the array relation and became DuckDNS's raw string instead.
Rename the field to `subdomains` throughout (model, docs, tests). Add
a comment on __intraModel documenting the collision risk for future
providers, and a regression test asserting no registered provider's
_keyMap redefines one of DnsProvider's reserved field names.
DuckDNS's API is smaller than the other providers' (no list/read API,
no arbitrary sub-records, one A/AAAA + one TXT record per domain), so
domains are entered by the operator instead of auto-discovered, and
getRecords reads from public DNS since there's nothing else to query.
Documented as a free option in the README and DNS provider docs.
For deployments on WAN DHCP, operators can declare A records in the DNS section
that the app updates to this box's current public IP every 4 hours (and
immediately on create).
- utils/public_ip.js: getPublicIp() queries external echo services (ipify +
fallbacks, configurable) with pure isIPv4/extractIp helpers.
- utils/dns_records.js: pure planARecordUpdate() reconciliation decision.
- models/dns_provider.js: Domain.upsertARecord(name, ip) — provider-agnostic
upsert via getRecords + deleteRecordById + createRecord (createRecord alone is
not a reliable cross-provider upsert). Apex ('@') handling added to each
provider (CloudFlare uses the domain name, Porkbun an empty name, DigitalOcean
'@') via a new DnsApi.apexName().
- models/dynamic_record.js: DynamicRecord model (deterministic id per host,
apply()/refreshAll()), registered + ModelPs-wrapped for live UI updates.
- services/dynamic_dns.js + conf: 4h scheduler mirroring host_scheduler.
- routes/dns.js: /dynamic CRUD + /dynamic/ip, gated to domain managers/admins.
- views/dns.ejs: "Dynamic A Records (WAN IP)" card with add form + list.
- test/unit/dynamic_record.test.js: public-IP parsing + reconciliation logic.
Verified end-to-end against a live Porkbun domain (create, idempotent, IP-change,
cleanup) plus unit suite (111 pass).

DigitalOcean.listDomains ran the API response through __parseRes, which does
not map anything to `.domain` and additionally rewrites each item's `.name` to
its subdomain via tld-extract. DO's /v2/domains returns objects keyed `name`
with no zone id, so the domain objects had no usable `.domain` and Domain.create
threw ObjectValidateError ("domain is not string type"), aborting the sync.
Map name -> domain the way CloudFlare.listDomains does and skip __parseRes (it
is for record responses). DO has no zone id; the earlier zoneId-omit fix covers
that. Also request per_page=200 so accounts with >20 domains aren't truncated.
