Comment on Self-hosted blog - do I need a static IP address?

Hi, I’m using Docker - one container for Ghost and one for Nginx Proxy Manager.

I’ve decided to go with DDNS but am having trouble choosing a reliable free provider. I’ve seen Dynu.com recommended but that is not available in the dropdown list of servers in my router’s section on DDNS. Is that relevant?

Or would I just ignore the router settings and set it up some other way?

Cloudflare is a good choice. I used DNSExit for a while, and also NS1, but settled on Cloudflare. You don’t have to use their proxying, just DNS.

Here’s a Docker Compose for you that will set myhost.mydomain.com to point to your public IP of wherever it is run:

dyndns-cloudflare: image: oznu/cloudflare-ddns container_name: dyndns-cloudflare environment: - API_KEY=<key> - ZONE=mydomain.com - SUBDOMAIN=myhost - PROXIED=false restart: unless-stopped

I’m having a good experience with cloudflare, using ddclient on a cron job
