  • Cloudflare is a good choice. I used DNSExit for a while, and also NS1, but settled on Cloudflare. You don’t have to use their proxying, just DNS.

    Here’s a Docker Compose for you that will set myhost.mydomain.com to point to your public IP of wherever it is run:

    dyndns-cloudflare:
        image: oznu/cloudflare-ddns
        container_name: dyndns-cloudflare
        environment:
          - API_KEY=<key>
          - ZONE=mydomain.com
          - SUBDOMAIN=myhost
          - PROXIED=false
        restart: unless-stopped
    












  • This is contrary to OSS definitions. Personally, I’m not a fan of the strict position OSS takes with things like SSPLv1, but I’m the vocal minority.

    Free software and open source are the same thing in the accepted definition. A good example of where this is tough is something like MongoDB, where it’s free to run and source available, but the license doesn’t allow you to resale it as a service. This was done to stop companies like Azure and AWS from making millions without supporting development, while not restricting most business use.

    By OSS standards, Mongo is not free, and is not open source.
