Im sure this has been asked before i juat can’t find where it has been - Maybe need to work on how to search Lemmy better. But…
Id like to eventually self host some sevices that require external access. While I have IpV6 addresses my IPV4 is dynamic.
Whats the best free way to be able to point some domains/ subdomains I have to my external dynamic IP and keep it updated. Im running OpenWrt on my router. - So possibly should be posting there.
Free Dyndns services seem to be a bit crap. Do I need to pay for a VPS? (seems to defeat the point of self hosting)
Get your own domain, find a free DNS service that provides an API, and it becomes a simple matter of updating a DNS
Arecord whenever your IP changes.Here’s a starting point: https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/dns-providers-who-easily-integrate-with-lets-encrypt-dns-validation/86438
Don’t use a DynamicDNS service, they’re usually crap and they make you depend on a domain you don’t own.
