Comment on Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns
dingleberrylover@lemmy.world 3 hours agoThanks, yes I also use a script that constantly sends the current IP address to the dynDNS provider. I could be completely wrong, but the internet connection of my friends house where the server stands is fine even during these connection issues. So I would blame the DNS resolution, but it is also my first time running a server.

How frequently do you send these updates? Most of dynDNS provider rate limit the updates you can send, so it is possible that you send a bunch of useless updates when the IP didn’t change and the actual update that is required gets discarded because you hit the limit.
Do you log your script errors somewhere? Are you sure that the IP changes so frequently?
I know at least 3 European fiber providers which offers static IPs. For broadband always on connections IP changes should be pretty rare

I have a cronjob that runs every minute to update the IP address. I could try to increase it to every hour or so. In the beginning I tracked how often the ISP changed the address and it was roughly like once every 24-30 hours, cannot really remember.
