Good FOSS software and reliable service providers? Etc.
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?
I would recommend OVH for DNS, they have an API and are on the list for that tool. Also you can use the API to get lets encrypt certificates
Looks good. Thanks!
cloudflare + the dynamic dns plugin for opnsense.
Have done it via bash scripts for years. Never had a problem. Since a few months i use https://github.com/qdm12/ddns-updater
I use http://www.duckdns.org/
Me too. I use uptime kuma to send the api request. then I also get uptime status 🙂
afraid still works like a charm. cloudflare is ok. duckdns is cool.
I use ddclient but in a docker container. Works great with minimal config
Ddns-updater and porkbun.
Have you heard of the kuadrant project? It is for kubernetes and has a dynamic DNS element. Kuadrant.io
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!
Interesting, this seems to have better documentation and feedback than the external-dns operator
Tor hidden service
If you don’t need actually public DNS, something like Tailscale might be an option.
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.edit:
If your registrar is supported the ddns-updater sounds a lot easier.
@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/18477306Desec + Nginx Proxy Manager as a reverse proxy. Solves ddns and https with a letsencrypt wildcard cert.
Ixury for people that can have public IPs! :)
I personally use https://desec.io
