I do have a firewall at home and I can open up a port and forward that to the laptop. Just that I don't want to spend money on DynDNS services and was trying to find a free solution. Thanks for confirming!
Self-hosting is so so cool. Nothing more satisfying that hosting your own website from scrappy ol equipment :-)
- arnado 5y agoI used namecheap to register my domain, and they have an option for dynamic DNS without ongoing fees (besides domain fees, I guess). I would be surprised if other registrars didn't have something similar. https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/595/11/how-do-i-enable-dynamic-dns-for-a-domain/ https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx...
- andreasha 5y agoThere are free DynDNS services for example DuckDNS https://www.duckdns.org/ https://www.duckdns.org/ Could also get a domain name and make a simple cron job and update your DNS. Works with many DNS registrars like Cloudflare.
