Hi Josh, Good to hear everything is working now.
The problem you noted was fixed in r8145 (2017-02-02) which will officially appear in AstLinux 1.2.10. "... if '/mnt/kd/ddclient.conf' exists, any of DDUSER, DDPASS, DDHOST may now be undefined ..." That explains why you needed to define those variables before the "dynamicdns" service would start.
