Probably good, but I want to stay away from anything related to Kubernetes. My experience is that it's an overkill black hole of constant debugging. Unfortunately. Thanks though!
exactly. I literally have a bash script that calls the API triggered by cron every 30 minutes. That's it. Are people seriously using a freaking docker container for this?
Ah, a history would be nice. I've been thinking of keeping some stats to monitor when the connection goes down, and how often my IP changes.
Fortunately I've kept the same IP since i changed ISPs a few months ago.
Personally I still think docker is overkill for something that can be done with a bash script. But I also use a Pi 4 as my home server, so I need to be a little more scrupulous of CPU and RAM and storage than most
I would go for registering my own domain and then rent a small vps and run debian 12 server with bind9 for dns + dyndns. If you don't want to put the whole domain on your own name servers then you can always delegate a subdomain to the debian 12 server and run your main domain on your domain registrators name servers.

@sith If this is useful we had a bit of a conversation about DynDns options a while back. Im currently using Hetzner with my subdomain names being dynamically updated. lemmy.ml/post/18477306
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)
My ip updates maybe once every three months or so, but what i did was just write a script that checks the current ip and updates the domain registrar. My domain is on cloud flare, and they have an API through which I can do it. It's literally one POST request. There are solutions out there but I wanted a really simple solution I fully understand so I just did this. Script runs in cron every few hours and that's it.
I set it once like 6 years ago and forgot it wasn't something pre-installed and configured until I saw your comment. I was reading through the comments looking for the "you don't need to do anything, ddclient takes care of it"

edit:
If your registrar is supported the ddns-updater sounds a lot easier.

Just the business internet to get the foot in the door for a static IP 5x's the cost of my Internet.
It's actually cheaper to just have DC IPs and proxy through hosted containers. Which is kind of crazy.
Negative aspect is that DC IPs aren't treated very nice.
