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.

Does anyone know how to get a static IP for their server when their ISP doesn't allow it. I've found out how to use duckdns, but I want to set up my own DNS server from anywhere but I'm pretty sure it requires using a static IP.
Dynamic DNS is the usual way. Your ISP assigns the IP, so they're the only ones who can make it static.
You might be able to do it with some VPN shenanigans, but generally dynamic DNS is what you want. It's basically a script that runs on your server that will periodically update the IP on the DNS entries.
