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.

There are two services involved. Domain registration and DNS. Most domain registrars now provide some free DNS service, with basic features. I monitor dozens of domains, and I can tell you that these free DNS services with registrars are most likely to have short DNS outages as well.
ClouDNS is a professional, high-quality DNS service and that does one thing well. As far as I can tell, they don't do domain registration, so that will always be a separate service. One of the things that ClouDNS does well is making Dynamic DNS easier.
I just checked and ClouDNS offers domain registration! So, I think I'm going to just move everything over there for convenience. Also, I know why my server is unreachable a couple hours every day lol. Love this community and Lemmy. Feels a lot like the old, old Reddit days. Thanks!
