there is no description of how to do this on the github wiki or sourceforge wiki just how to
There is a file
/etc/default/ddclient
# Configuration for ddclient scripts
# generated from debconf on Thu Jul 27 17:32:33 ACST 2017
#
# /etc/default/ddclient
# Set to "true" if ddclient should be run every time DHCP client ('dhclient'
# from package isc-dhcp-client) updates the systems IP address.
run_dhclient="false"
# Set to "true" if ddclient should be run every time a new ppp connection is
# established. This might be useful, if you are using dial-on-demand.
run_ipup="false"
# Set to "true" if ddclient should run in daemon mode
# If this is changed to true, run_ipup and run_dhclient must be set to false.
run_daemon="true"
# Set the time interval between the updates of the dynamic DNS name in seconds.
# This option only takes effect if the ddclient runs in daemon mode.
daemon_interval="300"
If I go to
sudo systemctl edit --full ddclient.service
a file is created with these parameters

This doesn't run at boot though..? I can only get the service to start manually with either sudo etc/init.d/ddclient start or sudo systemctl start ddclient.service
