Utility to update DNS dynamically (like ddclient) (wirebase.org)

Any docker recommendations for a utility that can update DNS, based on current external IP?

I've used ddclient in the past, but it seems like its not working anymore, oddly.

Actually, right after posting this, I got it to work. It looks like ddclient queries checkip.dyndns.org for IP, and by default using SSL/443. HTTPS isn't working on checkip.dyndns.org at the moment, so queries were failing. I disabled SSL and it started to work.

I'm using Google Domains. Good suggestion on the API approach though, I'll consider that for next time it breaks on me.
