Like your simple explanation, I will be using this with OPNsense Thanks for sharing
This video showed up at just the right time for me, just right after I finished your video about Headscale :) My ISP changes my IP once a week. Since I want to delve into a homelab setup, I plan to host some services on my local, dedicated setup. This will be helpful alongside implementing CloudFlare to help protect some traffic. I've found your videos to be very educational and presented in a way that gets you form A to B to C in a very organized way. Great job and thanks for your work!
That’s a neat setup. I’m using a container that’s running a bash script checking my public IP and updating it via cloudflare API. Probably should have checked for other solutions before writing my own script and container. But I learned how to create a container image and publish it to container registry
Good video. I've been using dynamic DNS ever since I've started selfhosting. I use the linuxserver duckdns container and added my own dynu bash scripts (dynu is much more reliable than duckdns). Well it worked great as always, many public wifi has attempted to block dynamic DNS which pre-much cripples my entire homelab (can't even VPN b/c Wireguard uses ddns as I don't have staic IP). I've now switched to tailscale (require setup an exit node) and seems to restore my homelab.
Been meaning to get around to this. Great timing !
Great video, but I found a couple minor issues with the documentation that I thought I'd mention. First the link to your docker compose github page is broken. The link has a hyphen, while the github page doesn't. It was very easy to find the actual page once I looked at the full list of your documentation (which is all great). It took me several minutes to figure out the difference between the link and the page, so those hyphens can be sneaky. :) Second, the "config" file, actually needs to be a directory. Then, within that directory you need a "ddclient.conf" file that contain the configuration details from your config file. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Is it possible to do the same with a failover configuration? I tried but the group does not appear in the interface to monitor. any idea how to do it? It's the only reason I didn't switch from pfsense to opnsense
Thanks. Of the 3 firewalls you have covered, which do you use in your lab ?
I assume for ddns IPV6 in OPNSense is just adding a new record but selecting the IPV6 and then WAN ?
I currently use DuckDNS within pfSense. I assume going with Cloudflare would break any e-mail address forwarding configured within Cloudflare for the domain as the DNS records would point to your home IP instead of Cloudflare's?
Does this work if you are behind a CG-NAT?
My newest Dynamic DNS solution: Caddy Server + related DNS module.
I got some crappy bash script on my crappy router which triggers when ip changes 😆
Option 3 for me. I’ve stopped using dynamic dns services. Now I have a script that runs every 60 mins. The script does an nslookup of my host, and compares that to my public ip. If this happens it updates my dns provider using a curl and then have telegram notify me that my ip changed.
Please make a video of defguard, Open Source Enterprise SSO & VPN.
I am usuing duckdns docker, I believe it's easier
It's 2024. Stop living in the stone age and use cloudflare tunnels.
