Advice for an EU (and in any case non-spying) Dynamic DNS provider?

Submitted ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨fabriziob@diggita.com⁩ to ⁨selfhosted@lemmy.world⁩

I’m starting to play with an old laptop that I have installed Ubuntu Server on, with Nextcloud and Docker.

Using Docker Compose I installed Nginx and now I would like to try to do the DDNS thing on a domain that I registered with an Italian provider.

I looked at a few DynDns providers and they seem to me to be all American or in any case on American infrastructure (DuckDNS on AWS, etc)

Is there anything you can recommend that is EU-based and who has a good reputation in general?

Free is preferred.

I’m not sure what you mean by non-spying, but you should be prepared for anything you put on the Internet to be poked by any number of people that you do not want poking. If whatever you are hosting would be compromised by having a DNS name, you might want to rethink your security plan.

  I am studying how to enact a good security at the same time. This is all first-approach and pure experimentation for me, albeit extremely enriching since I feel I am really learning how the Internet actually works, so please excuse my inaccurate language and maybe pointless requirements.

I use caddy to automatically change the DNS records on my domain, I recommend you try that as well.

Are you sure you need DYNDNS? My 'dynamic' IP address changes so rarely that I just update my DNS entries manually when it does.

Could you elaborate on the "non-spying" bit? There's not much they can infer from people looking up your IP. Unless you run their daemon that updates the IP, as opposed to curl in cron.

Look into self hosting pangolin on VPS. I have it hosted at infomaniak.ch - it’s basically a self hosted cloudflare tunnel, so you are bot exposing your IP. These days this is absolutely preferred over using dyndns and exposing your IP.

Most registrars also run DNS servers as part of the fee you pay for the domain. Usually they have an API. You can just use that to implement Dynamic DNS, there are even often tools for it. Do a search for your DNS registrar and dyndns.

Domains registered at OVH include this (and 100mb webspace + one 5gb email address) for free.

Afraid.org is better than DuckDNS. (DuckDNS is not reliable and have been slow or down a lot.)

But it is still American.

You might try DNS4EU:
86.54.11.1
86.54.11.201
DoH: https://protective.joindns4.eu/dns-query
DoT: protective.joindns4.eu

  That seems to be for dns resolving, not for ddns? Or am I missing something?

    I have looked at it already and I didn’t find anything that wasn’t a resolver.
