+# ddclient (snap)
+
+ddclient is a Perl client used to update dynamic DNS entries for accounts on many dynamic DNS services.
+
+See supported services in the offical [read me](https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient#ddclient-v391) of ddlient's repository at github.
+
 [![Get it from the Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/static/images/badges/en/snap-store-black.svg)](https://snapcraft.io/ddclient-snap)
+[![Donate with PayPal](https://giaever.online/paypal-donate-button.png)](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=69NA8SXXFBDBN&source=https://git.giaever.org/joachimmg/ddclient-snap)
+
+## Usage
+
+When this snap is installed, there will be a background daemon running (called `ddclient-snap.daemon`). This daemon reads your configuration from the file `/var/snap/ddclient-snap/current/etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf`.
+
+Fill in your details and restart the service with `snap restart ddclient-snap.daemon`. If you're having problems, please see the [question asked by a user](https://git.giaever.org/joachimmg/ddclient-snap/issues/1).
+
+If you want to execute commands manually, you'll have the exectuable available with `ddclient-snap.exec`.
+
+## Build and installation instructions
+
+### Install from The Snap Store (Recommended)
+
+Make sure you have Snapd installed on your system. See [Installing snapd](https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snapd) for a list of distributions with and without snap pre-installed, including installation instructions for those that have not.
+
+```bash
+$ snap install ddclient-snap
+```
+
+### Build this snap from source
+
+We recommend that your download a pre-built version of this snap from [The Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/ddclient-snap), or at least make sure that you checkout the latest tag, as the master tag might contain faulty code during development.
+
+1. **Clone this repo and checkout the latest tag**
+
+```bash
+$ git clone https://git.giaever.org/joachimmg/ddclient-snap.git
+
+# Go into directory
+$ cd ./ddclient-snap
+
+# Checkout tag
+$ git checkout <tag>
+```
+_**NOTE**: You can find the latest tag with `git ls-remote --tags origin`_
+
+2. **Build and install**
+
+Make sure you have snapd (see [Installing snapd](https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snapd)) and latest version of Snapcraft. Install Snapcraft with
+
+```bash
+$ sudo snap install snapcraft --classic
+```
+
+Or update with
+
+```bash
+$ sudo snap refresh snapcraft
+```
+
+2.2 **With multipass**
+
+From the «ddclient-snap»-directory, run
+
+```bash
+$ snapcraft
+```
+
+Multipass will be installed and a virtual machine will boot up and build your snap. The final snap will be located in the same directory.
+
+2.3 **With LXD** (*required* for Raspberry Pie)
+
+Snapcraft will try to install multiplass and build the snap for you, but on *Raspberry Pi* it will fail. You will have to use an LXD container.
+
+Install LXD and create a container
+
+```bash
+$ snap install lxd
+$ snap lxd init
+```
+
+Make sure your user is a member of lxd-group
+
+```bash
+$ sudo adduser $USER lxd
+```
+
+Launch an Ubuntu 20.04 container instance
+
+```bash
+$ lxc launch ubuntu:20.04 ddclient-snap
+```
+
+**Clone repo as described in #1**
+
+Make sure you're in the «ddclient-snap»-directory and go into the shell of your newly created container
+
+```bash
+$ lxc exec -- ddclient-snap /bin/bash
+```
+
+and run
+
+```bash
+$ SNAPCRAFT_BUILD_ENVIRONMENT=host snapcraft
+```
+
+when the build is complete, you'll have to exit the shell and pull the snap-file from the container. See `lxc file pull --help`.
+
+3. **Install new built snap**
+
+```
+$ sudo snap install ./ddclient-snap_<source-tag>.snap --dangerous
+```
