Not to downplay the intent, but hosting static site is much simpler in something like github or netlify. Also in my area business internet with fixed IP is more expensive than what I would pay for decent enough cloud instance($50 vs $10).
- michalwarda 4y agoDefinitely simpler than setting up everything from group up. Though ATM I would argue that It would take me the exact same amount of time to get another app online :). Regarding IP, in the blog post further down I'm explaining that I also don't have fixed IP and how you can setup DDNS. Thanks for reading!

- stjo 4y agoWith dynamic dns static IPs are not as critical. Most routers support them natively. What it does is quite simple - every time the router receives a new IP, it updates your dns entry. Not to mention that most “dynamic” IPs change only while the router is offline and your lease is up. So as long you don’t power it off, it may not change for large intervals of time.
- RockRobotRock 4y agoI have had my "dynamic" IP for two years now. I even managed to keep it when I moved to a new unit in the same appt complex
- nubinetwork 4y agoMy home network also seems to have no problem holding an ip despite being dynamic. I usually have to change the mac on my router before I'll get a new ip. In 15 years, I think I've only had it change unintentionally 2 or 3 times.
- infogulch 4y agoPresumably you only need a fixed IP for email delivery. Public sites like blogs could be fronted by a CDN, and you can manage private sites behind a vpn like tailscale etc. I think a design where you rent a cheap $5-$10 vps with a static IP that forwards SMTP messages both ways through a secure tunnel to your personal mail server in your home would be a good starting point for self hosting.
