I generally applaud the effort to make things more user friendly, but have some comments, see below.

Also a general one: You're adding new reads to the file system but not updating the acl config accordingly. So will things actually work correctly? How did you test all the permutations?

Chrome console: _isFqdn('0a.net') true _isFqdn('0a') false _isFqdn('192.168.1.1') false _isFqdn('[::1]') false The wildcards are out of context here. The main goal of the function is to determine if the browser URL can be used as a domain e.g. `example.com` - ok, just `router` - not ok.

If you want to clean it up, I'm fine with either tho.

let ddnsDomainsList = ddnsDomains.map(d => d.domains[0]);

tohojo · 2024-06-10T09:49:39Z

Chrome console:
_isFqdn('0a.net')
true _isFqdn('0a')

Right, but:
_isFqdn("a0.net")
false

Maybe something like:

function _isIP(str) {
  return /^[0-9\.]+$/.test(str) || /[\[\]:]/.test(str);
}

function _isFqdn(str) {
  return !_isIP(str) && /\./.test(str);
}

Normally the message should never occur. It would be better to let a user to know for any duplucate. Or we can just override and a user will check the Changes to apply to see what changed 10 июн. 2024 г. 12:52:35 Toke Høiland-Jørgensen ***@***.***>:

Nothing wrong with wildcards per se. Having them by default may simplify next configurations steps for new subdomains e.g. adding of nextcloud.example.duckdns.org. An advanced user can remove the wildcard if not needed. 10 июн. 2024 г. 12:50:48 Toke Høiland-Jørgensen ***@***.***>:

I disagree. A wildcard certificate assigns a lot more trust to the device than a single domain, so the principle of least privilege dictates that these should only be used when absolutely necessary.

An advanced user can remove the wildcard if not needed.

No, an advanced user can add it if needed :)

No, don't offload pain on the user to make things easier to implement. "Should never see it" is not a good argument, it will definitely happen more than expected.

systemcrash · 2024-06-10T11:57:45Z

Do not use alert. It's is extremely difficult to manage with keyboard only.

systemcrash · 2024-07-22T22:35:56Z

Please remove alert and sync i18n.
