Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I would like to host my own web server with a domain name I purchased but my public IP isn't static.

I just have a cron script running on a machine that does something like this every 10 seconds

C_IP=`dig +short my.domain`
IP=`curl https://api.ipify.org`
if(C_IP != IP) {
    updateRoute53(IP)
}

This is just for my main home server. Gets the job done because if it's out of date for a few seconds nothing matters.

duckdns and ydns

I'm still using noip.com. There may be better/cheaper options these days, but this has worked well for me for years, and I don't see the need to change.

~~AdGuard! They even have installable profiles for Apple devices, so I get ad blocking even on mobile!~~

mb, DDNS. nvm

OP is asking about DDNS instead of DNS. They want a fixed address to their ever changing IP address.
