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.

Any registrar worth using has an API for updating DNS entries.

I just found this with a quick search: https://github.com/qdm12/ddns-updater

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?

It's easy to set up and also keeps a history

I just dump the changes with timestamps to a text file. Notifications for IP changes get sent to matrix after the DNS record is updated.
