Good FOSS software and reliable service providers? Etc.
Afraid has a curl update. Cron job. It’s that simple.
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.
Ddclient has done the trick for me, and my registrar supports it with an API
I solve it by paying way too much for a block of static IPs.
Way too much for sure.
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.
Ixury for people that can have public IPs! :)
Desec + Nginx Proxy Manager as a reverse proxy. Solves ddns and https with a letsencrypt wildcard cert.
I use ddclient but in a docker container. Works great with minimal config
cloudflare + the dynamic dns plugin for opnsense.
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 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!
afraid still works like a charm. cloudflare is ok. duckdns is cool.
I use http://www.duckdns.org/
Me too. I use uptime kuma to send the api request. then I also get uptime status 🙂
Have done it via bash scripts for years. Never had a problem. Since a few months i use https://github.com/qdm12/ddns-updater

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/18477306Have 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
