 Nevertheless, your router may not support the Dynamic DNS service provider you wish to use, or may come with constraints that you find unsatisfactory so any behind-the-router technique is always a viable option, providing you understand its limitations.
 
-A behind-the-router technique usually relies on sending updates according to a schedule. An example is a `cron` job that runs every five minutes. That means any router WAN IP address changes won't be propagated until the next scheduled update. In the event of network interruptions or service provider outages, it may take some time before everything is back in sync. Moreover, given that WAN IP address changes are infrequent events, most scheduled updates will be sending information unnecessarily, contributing unnecessarily to server load.

In the event of network interruptions or service provider outages, it may take close to ten minutes before everything is back in sync.

 IOTstack provides a solution for DuckDNS. The best approach to running it is:

+# Duck DNS
+
+Duckdns is a free public DNS service that provides you with a domain name you
+can update to match your dynamic IP-address.
+
+This container automates the process to keep the duckdns.org domain updated
+when your IP-address changes.
+
+## Configuration
+
+First, register an account, add your subdomain and get your token from
+[http://www.duckdns.org/](http://www.duckdns.org/)
+
+Either edit `~/IOTstack/docker-compose.yml` or create a file
+`~/IOTstack/docker-compose.override.yml`. Place your Duckdns token and
+subdomain name (without .duckdns.org) there:
+
+``` yaml title="docker-compose.override.yml"
+version: '3.6'
+services:
+  duckdns:
+    environment:
+      TOKEN: your-duckdns-token
+      SUBDOMAINS: subdomain
+```
+
+Observe that at least the initial update is successful:
+
+``` console
+$ cd ~/IOTstack
+$ docker-compose up -d duckdns
+$ docker-compose logs -f duckdns
+...SNIP...
+duckdns    | Sat May 21 11:01:00 UTC 2022: Your IP was updated
+...SNIP...
+(ctrl-c to stop following the log)
+```
+
+If there is a problem, check that the resulting effective configuration of
+'duckdns:' looks OK:
+``` console
+$ cd ~/IOTstack && docker-compose config
+```
+
+### Domain name for the private IP
+
+!!! note inline end "Example public/private IP:s and domains"
+
+    ``` mermaid
+    flowchart
+    I([Internet])
+    G("Router\npublic IP: 52.85.51.71\nsubdomain.duckdns.org")
+    R(Raspberry pi\nprivate IP: 192.168.0.100\nprivate_subdomain.duckdns.org)
+    I --- |ISP| G --- |LAN| R
+    ```
+
+As a public DNS server, Duckdns is not meant to be used for private IPs. It's
+recommended that for resolving internal LAN IPs you use the [Pi
+Hole](Pi-hole.md) container or run a dedicated DNS server.
+
+That said, it's possible to update a Duckdns subdomain to your private LAN IP.
+This may be convenient if you have devices that don't support mDNS (.local) or
+don't want to run Pi-hole. This is especially useful if you can't assign a
+static IP to your RPi. No changes to your DNS resolver settings are needed.
+
+First, as for the public subdomain, add the domain name to your Duckdns account
+by logging in from their homepage. Then add a `PRIVATE_SUBDOMAINS` variable
+indicating this subdomain:
+
+``` yaml
+version: '3.6'
+services:
+  duckdns:
+    environment:
+      TOKEN: ...
+      SUBDOMAINS: ...
+      PRIVATE_SUBDOMAINS: private_subdomain
+```
