Openwrt and Hetzner DDNS
@Christopher Obbard - I saw that you were comitting changes to #openwrt in Feb to include #Hetzner as a #DDNS option. I posted this in the Openwrt Forum but thought I should go straight to the source as such. -forum.openwrt.org/t/hetzner-dd… - Could you help a uninformed idoit?

So that's 25.12.1? - That would be great. I'll be putting into my test machine as soon as I get home then.

hah, the story was I was running some Docker container on my openwrt router to update some Hetzner DDNS zones. Thought it was really inefficient to have a complete docker stack on the router just for that purpose, so hacked up a quick script and created a PR to integrate Hetzner into ddns-scripts package! Glad someone other than me is using my work. Let me know if you get it working or not.

Well I'm home.. I've got my test harness updated with #Openwrt 25.12.1 and its running (so the scripts etc on openwrt are all looking good - but - oh yeah you actually need to move the zone file to the cloud API right.. Ops. No problem - unless of course you are right in the middle of a #brownout during the #hetznerdnsapi shutdown..

This does actually point to another issue. I'm going to have to move all devices that use same zone file at the same time. (Obvious in retrospect) - Luckily I run a few domains so I can test a bit with one first.

So yeah .. I think I got the zone migrated and figured out that the username is actually the hostname (I'm feeling a bit under the weather today ) so looking good. Now just to get all the other devices updated, zone files migrated and then .. woohoo
