I didn't renew my Dyn subscrition a few months ago, considering they had increased their pricing model and offered nothing new. And being owned by "evil" Oracle didn't help.
Today it's relatively easy to build a self-hosted dynamic DNS equivalent, e.g. https://github.com/dprandzioch/docker-ddns https://github.com/dprandzioch/docker-ddns so I'm in the process of solving the issue like this.
- henryfjordan 7y agoisn't the point of dynamic DNS that it's not self-hosted? It should be on a static IP somewhere outside the network/IP you want to monitor. I run a server at home and I can always just go update my DNS records to some new IP but the catch is I cannot ssh home without knowing the new IP address, hence the point of a dynamic DNS service. If you host that in the same network, what's the point? You lose access to it too.
- Rychard 7y agoFrom the README of the linked repository: > All you need is a cheap VPS, a domain and access to it's nameserver. I personally find it a bit misleading to classify this as being "self-hosted", seeing as how it's effectively the same as every other dynamic DNS service.
