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

I run ddclient on a local machine and it updates my Cloudflare DNS records if my IP changes.

OPNSense has it built in too, if you use it. So does PFSense, I think. Been a while, might be misremembering.

Jup, I use my pfSense as DDNS client with Cloudflare

I do this too. I proxy my DNS which means my home IP isn’t exposed

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.
