DDNS is not starting

[Cris1977]

Dear all,
I'm working with duckdns and try to configure it in openwrt. Attached a picture,
First you can see LUCI after reboot device.
DDNS Autostart is enable
Service (only one) for duckdns is enable but NOT RUNNING.

After I have pushed RELOAD button in Service (DuckDNS), first time is working properly. (Duckdns is updated and I can read it), Then, For me, configuration is fine for duckdns
Same happens if I push RESTART DDNS buttom.

My question is, why service is not running from begining ? Why it need that I push the RELOAD buttom ??

Picture 1:

Thanks for all.

Show your DDNS config as text.

Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:

Remember to redact passwords, MAC addresses and any public IP addresses you may have:

ubus call system board
cat /etc/config/network
cat /etc/config/ddns
logread -e ddns

Hi all, Thanks for the support.
update url -> I'm not using [IP], in that way duckdns is taking directly my ip

config ddns 'global'
        option ddns_dateformat '%F %R'
        option ddns_loglines '250'
        option ddns_rundir '/var/run/ddns'
        option ddns_logdir '/var/log/ddns'

config service 'DuckDNS_ipv4'
        option enabled '1'
        option username 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
        option domain 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.duckdns.org'
        option password 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'
        option ip_source 'web'
        option ip_url 'http://checkip.dyndns.com'
        option check_interval '1'
        option check_unit 'hours'
        option update_url 'https://www.duckdns.org/update?domains=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.duckdns.org&token=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'
        option lookup_host 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.duckdns.org'
        option use_ipv6 '0'
        option use_syslog '2'
        option force_unit 'minutes'
        option retry_unit 'seconds'
        option use_https '1'

thanks in advance.

There is a package available for duckdns, so custom configuration could be avoided.

You don't need to use https in the update_url, even if you intend using https.
Even if IP autodetection is required, you need to add to the URL &ip= without a value according to their instructions and examples.
There is no need to add .duckdns.org in the domain field.

If you use use_https you usually need to add a path to ca-certificates.
Make sure you have curl installed.

My personal recommendation is to avoid using duckdns. A few months ago I've seen a lot of regular timeouts for DNS lookups against their domain.
