dynamic dns

[ghanan]

Hi,
¿Does it work with dynamic dns like duckdns.org?

I'm using the phone as a modem for a laptop. Both are configured to sync with the same desktop using duckdns.org. The laptop find the desktop but the phone doesn't.

Thanks.

This does not work at the moment, as the DNS resolve is broken in golang on Android.

This will be fixed by go 1.4 (refer to #46).

Thanks for updating the Syncthing Android to go 1.4! Is this issue fixed?
I entered "internalcomputername:port, externaldyndnshost:port" as address - using WLAN (e.g. internalcomputername is available) works, but outside with 3G (should use externaldyndnshost) it does not work. Maybe something is missing here for correct DNS resolve?

It's not: golang/go#8877
Should be fixed by may, unless @Nutomic wants to compile using cgo which would solve the issue, or forks syncthing and uses a full blown dns client ;)

Building for ARM works but i386 not

Any status updates on this? Following some trails to the go repo says it's been fixed now?

[Zillode]

Almost there, I think golang/go@7165c9b will be part of Go 1.5

[lmas]

Yes I read that one, too. Have to wait until august then, when we'll hopefully get 1.5.

1.5 is out, I'm wondering if it now works as intended.

[Nutomic]

@Zillode I tried to update Go to 1.5 by changing the wget url and sha1 hash in build-syncthing.sh, but I'm getting this output:

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

[AudriusButkevicius]

That's trying to build it from source?
In which case you need to have a version of go to bootstrap.

[anderspitman]

Yeah in 1.5 they made the jump to a self-hosted compiler, so apparently building 1.5 from source requires 1.4.

[Zillode]

Yeah that's no fun:/

• I already tried Go1.5 but it didn't fix the DNS problem as far as I could test (done quickly).
• Need to update the build script but that's not that easy without downloading binary blobs
