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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I'm thinking getting a static public IP might just be the easiest way to go. I have a pretty good ISP. Aside from sticking all the customers behind CGNAT.
Namecheap, and I guess other registrars too, has an API that you can call from your server to update your IP address in their DNS. It's super easy. No need to pay for a static IP address. At least in my case ei already use my domain for other things.
And since when is the easiest way the funnest way? :P
I don't understand how that'd work but I'll look into it. Thanks for the info!
Basically it's a URL that you call with curl. You can set up a crown job to call every day or as often as you need. The URL contains the domain name or subdomain, you dynamic public IP (not CNAT), and the API token. This way you Domain always points to your dynamic IP.
I think I get it. I'll look into after I get home from work today.
