# Setting up Dynamic DNS (optional)
## Setup
The playbook can configure Dynamic DNS with [ddclient](https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient) for you. It is a Perl client used to update dynamic DNS entries for accounts on Dynamic DNS Network Service Provider.
Most cloud providers / ISPs will charge you extra for a static IP address. If you're not hosting a highly reliable homeserver you can workaround this via dynamic DNS.
To set this up, you'll need to get the username/password from your DNS provider. For google domains, this process is described [here](https://support.google.com/domains/answer/6147083).
## Prerequisite
After you've gotten the proper credentials you can add the following config to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml`:
You'll need to get a username and password from your DNS provider. Please consult with the provider about how to retrieve them.
## Adjusting the playbook configuration
To enable dynamic DNS, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
```yaml
matrix_dynamic_dns_enabled: true
matrix_dynamic_dns_domain_configurations:
- provider: domains.google.com
- provider: example.net
protocol: dyndn2
username: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
password: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
username: YOUR_USERNAME_HERE
password: YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE
domain: "{{ matrix_domain }}"
```
## Installing
After configuring the playbook, run the [installation](installing.md) command: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
