Best domain provider for Cloudron for a server with non-static IP?

[necrevistonnezr]

Is there a recommendation for the best domain provider for Cloudron for a server with non-static (i.e dynamic) IP?

e.g. Namecheap offers dynamic DNS update but requires an API key which you only get depositing USD 50 and whitelisting a specifig server IP - which in my case is not static...

Does anyone have a recommendation?

@necrevistonnezr I use gandu via their liveDNS api and it works flawlessly. Have used it for 10+ domains.
Good luck!

No, I'm looking for a my own domain with this feature... I currently use the provider www.do.de which works ok but not great.

@necrevistonnezr yep! hosting my cloudron from home, never seen disruption. Also a friend in jolly ole england is doing the same with similar results.

@necrevistonnezr Digital ocean can hold your DNS for you. You can even use their API to update DNS records when needed.

+1 for https://gandi.net

@necrevistonnezr You can use any of Cloudron supported DNS providers - cloudflare, gandi, etc. Have you seen https://cloudron.io/documentation/networking/#dynamic-dns ? Once you enable that option, Cloudron will automatically detect IP change and update your DNS. I use DigitalOcean DNS for my Cloudron which is hosted at home and dynamic DNS.

Namecheap

While I experienced for few years hosting docker at home with 3-5 top domains and 30-50 subdomain, I was using ddclient.

I don't know if they finally upgraded they API but few months ago (+/-18) they NameCheap API was painful and not always making the update. This is how I discovered Cloudflare. If you are not too concern about your privacy Cloudflare works very great.

Thanks for the tips - actually, here's a pretty good tutorial on Namecheap / ddclient: https://samhobbs.co.uk/2015/01/dynamic-dns-ddclient-raspberry-pi-and-ubuntu

here my script and my template config

Cloudron manage dynamic IP and Namecheap no ?

@necrevistonnezr Imagine a company offering DYNAMIC DNS THAT REQUIRES A STATIC IP ADDRESS

[yusf]

@murgero What if… Cloudron UG offered it?

For the DynDNS, Namecheap provide a password by domain

But yes Cloudron use the API

maybe you could run https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-ddclient
