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.

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.
