Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

But said machine would have to run 24/7 for this to work correct?
Not necessarily, anytime it was on it would update the ddns service with the correct IP address. As far as I'm aware, your dynamic IP doesn't change too frequently. There would be some downtime if your ISP assigned you a new dynamic IP while the machine was powered down but it would correct itself as soon as the machine came online again.
I'm not an expert but I think this is accurate.
Edit: Does Synology have a ddns app? Or is it possible to install a ddns service via the command line? It would be cool if the NAS could send the update!
