Configuration

dyndns requires a configuration file in the YAML markup language.

dyndns looks on three places for its configuration. It picks the first existing configuration file and ignores the later in this order:

1. Custom path specified in the environment variable dyndns_CONFIG_FILE
2. Current working directory of the dyndns app (cwd): <cwd>/.dyndns.yml
3. /etc/dyndns.yml
