Nip.io Usage

Dynamic DNS Ancient nip.io use guide：to quickly implement dynamic mapping of domain names and IP

This is written based on Open Source Project v1.2.1 for development tests, CI/CD etc.

Project Profile nip.io is an open-source dynamic DNS service developed by Exentrique Solutions to enable dynamic mapping of arbitrary IP addresses and domain names through the Smart Resolution Mechanism.This service does not need to register or configure DNS records. Core features：

  • 🌐 Dynamic domain parsing：will <Any IP>.nip.io automatically parse corresponding IP
  • 🚀 Zero configuration using：does not need to install clients or configure DNS servers
  • 🔧 wildcard supports：for multi-tier subdomain dynamic resolution (e.g. app.10.0.1.nip.io)
  • :spouting_whale : Container Deploying：provides Docker mirrors to quickly build a private service

Quick Start

Scenario 1：uses a public DNS service to access the following formatted domains： directly in browser or app

IPv4 Format
http://your-app.192-168-1-100.nip.io parsed to 192.168.1.100
http://test.192.168.1.100.nip.io parsed to 192.168.1.100

IPv6 format (using a dash number)
http://your-app.2001-0db8-85a3-00-00-8a2e-0370-7334.nip.io

Scene 2：Self-built Private Service

Clone item
git clone https://github.com/exentriquesolations/nip.io.git

Use Docker to deploy
bash build_and_run_docker.sh

Advanced configuration

  1. Environment Variable Configuration overwrites the default configuration： by environment variable
