Comment on Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns
dingleberrylover@lemmy.world 3 hours agoI am using dynv6.com. The reason I blame the DNS resolution is because when I have issues connecting (as if the domain is not available), it does not mean that my friends cannot connect either. The server is at a friends house who has a fiber connection and who has no issues when we habe trouble connecting again. I could be totally wrong, but to me it sounds like dynv6 has some troubles.
I also have a script running, which constantly updates dynv6 with our current IP address.

Well, it can’t hurt to cross it off. You don’t need to get a domain from a registrar that offers dynamic DNS, you just need to register a domain (or try another dynamic DNS like the other user suggested) and use a DNS provider that is free and offers an API. I personally use Cloudflare, there are plenty of guides for setting up a dynamic record on CF.
For registering a domain you can use an affordable registrar, I’m a Porkbun customer - for a
.comdomain it’s like $11 for a year. No need to spend monthly.dingleberrylover@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
I looked into porkbun and it seems that they already offer a Cloudflare API for dynamic DNS. Why did you choose to separately use Cloudflare? Bit otherwise it looks promising to give it a try.
