can be fix by adding | head -n 1)

Hi there, could you please tell a noob, at which position? I added it behind the URI and it didnt work
dynv6.sh: line 23: ` echo "$(date): $(curl -k "https://dynv6.com/api/update?token=${token}&zone=${zone}&ipv6=${newIpV6}")" | tee -a $logfile | head -n 1)'

Edit: I've read your comment with more care and figured it out. it should be like this:
newIpV6=$(ip -6 addr show scope global | grep inet6 | sed -e 's/^.*inet6 \([^ ]*\)\/.*$/\1/;t;d' | head -n 1)

This is my script (bash), free to use:


#!/bin/bash

bin="curl -fsS"

fqdn=<your_domain>
token='<Your_token>'

ipv4=dig TXT +short o-o.myaddr.l.google.com @ns1.google.com | cut -f2 -d'"'
ipv6=dig -6 TXT +short o-o.myaddr.l.google.com @ns1.google.com | cut -f2 -d'"'

echo "My Ipv6: "$ipv6
echo ""

if [[ $ipv6 =~ ^([0-9a-fA-F]{0,4}:){1,7}[0-9a-fA-F]{0,4}$ ]]
then
echo "Updating $fqdn (ipv6)..."
$bin "http://dynv6.com/api/update?hostname=$fqdn&ipv6=$ipv6&token=$token"
echo ""
else
echo "Invalid IPv6 address"
fi

echo "My IPv4: "$ipv4
echo ""

if [[ $ipv4 =~ ^[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+$ ]]
then
echo "Updating $fqdn (ipv4)..."
$bin "http://dynv6.com/api/update?hostname=$fqdn&token=$token&ipv4=$ipv4"
else
echo "Invalid IPv4 address"
fi

echo "End of DNS records update!"

exit 0

Here is a node.js implementation of the script, that can be built into an executable with pkg and scheduled using Systemd/Windows Task Scheduler

const os = require('os');

const ip6addr = (os.networkInterfaces())['Ethernet'][1]['address'];
const domain = '<domain>';
const username = '<token>';
const url = `https://dynv6.com/api/update?hostname=${domain}&token=${username}&ipv6=${ip6addr}`;

fetch(url, {
  method: 'GET'
}).then((response) => {
  response.text().then((data) => {
    console.log(data);
  });
}).catch((error) => {
  console.error(error);
});
