I’m new to self-hosting. All I did so far was install Ubuntu Server, enable SSH and tried setting up DuckDNS, which I could not set up automatic update of my IP following the documentation, neither updating manually through the website, which even though seems to be changed, when I ssh the domain, I get the initial IP
Anyone using DuckDNS? Is it working properly for you guys? Did I just mess something up?
What other DDNS providers would you recommend me?
desec does offer one free subdomain, and you can use as many nested subdomains as you want for your services. do note you’ll need a wildcard cert for each subdomain level: *.sub.dedyn.io and *.app.sub.dedyn.io if a service needs it’s own subdomains for apis and whatnot.
edit: also a note for any fellow noobs like me it’s deDYN.io not deSEC.io on your account/subdomain. it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize my mistake trying to sign up with every subdomain i tried saying it exists already.
