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.

i may have figured something out, godaddy doesn't support ddns, but you can change the ip of an A record via the API. and i have found a program that runs under linux as a service that does exactly that. problem is, where in my nas do i run it? do i try to install it in truenas? or jellyfin? or do i create a new jail with the sole purpose of running said program?

I suspect you can have GoDaddy use a CNAME record which points to a DDNS entry (which has an A record). I have done that with different services before.
Definitely ditch godaddy asap they are one of the worst companies to deal with.
I suggest https://njal.la/
It should work from just about anywhere in your network. Most of those DDNS clients end up using an external IP lookup service to get their public address and then send that reply to home base to update the record.
