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.
