Utility to update DNS dynamically (like ddclient) - eviltoast

Any docker recommendations for a utility that can update DNS, based on current external IP?

I’ve used ddclient in the past, but it seems like its not working anymore, oddly.

    The main required feature that complicates things a bit is rate limiting since a lot of providers do not appreciate getting lots of update requests to the same IP in a short period of time if you e.g. reboot repeatedly but also will eventually delete names that are never updated.

      Ideally you’d check the public ip against the dns resolved ip (without cache) before launching an update and have a timeout (let’s say 30s) after.
