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.

As we received new network hardware from our ISP, and inevitably are getting a new IP address again with that, I'm looking into setting up a DDNS. I've wanted to check out DuckDNS.
They run their (free) service on AWS EC2 instances, though, and as I am currently also trying to end my reliance on Google and Amazon, I've got some more digging to do. If anyone has a good, European (or heck, federated?) solution, hmu!
I have been very happy with desec.io, they are a nonprofit based in Berlin.
Also very impressed with desec!
I've been using DuckDNS on a multiple platforms for a couple of years and it works great. Never had a problem.
I'm using the Hetzner nameservers, it's not exactly DynDNS but they have a DNS API and I just have a cronjob set up that checks every five minutes if the IP is still correct and updates otherwise.
