Relocated HA - DuckDNS

Hi there,

I have recently relocated my HA to a temporary home whilst we complete renovations on our house. HA itself is running fine however I am unable to get DuckDNS working. The only real change to my environment is the ISP provided public IP address.

In some of my endeavours to solve this I have:

  1. Deleted my original DuckDNS token and recreated a new one.
  2. Uninstalled the DuckDNS add on and reinstalled it.

However I still can’t access my HA instance.

I can ping my DuckDNS Hostname from within my network, and if I click a hyperlink to it from within my network it attempts to connect but then errors with a

“Unable to connect to Home Assistant. Retrying in x seconds…”

The DuckDNS log file is a little perplexing as I dont really understand the issue, I only have one account at DuckDNS with a single subdomain:

s6-rc: info: service s6rc-oneshot-runner: starting
s6-rc: info: service s6rc-oneshot-runner successfully started

ERROR: domains.txt not found and --domain not given

Note using the same router with exactly the same configuration as previously so port forwarding etc is identical. Any help or feedback would be appreciated. :slight_smile:

I have the same problem! New installation of Home Assistant OS, and the duckDNS is not working whatever I tried… It tries to find a txt file, I also tried to create one but wherever I tried to locate it, it doesn’t recognize it. I also tried to write the “Domains:” section manually in the configuration with no avail. Please help!
