Hello folks,
I got my static IP and I am very happy now, I have been hosting a lot of services since I got the static IP, however I still have to host a fediverse service however it’s not that easy to host any fediverse service, I tried to host GoToSocial but the devs said they don’t support Podman and my server is podman only ( I tried installing docker but it was failing for some reason so I gave up and used podman instead of docker).
these are the services I am currently hosting ( basically all the easy services which you can host with just “docker compose up -d” :p ):
- Invidious: https://invidious.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org/
- Qbittorrent ( web ui )
- TheLounge
- XMPP server: https://chat.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org/
feel free to suggest some other cool services which I can host :D
meanwhile I’m on a dynamic ip that hasn’t changed in 18 months
Most ISPs (especially smaller ones it seems) just run a basic DHCP server with leases expiring at a set interval. As long as your stuff is on and working when the lease renews, you’ll pull the same IP forever.
As long as you don’t want to run a mail server. DHCP ranges are cancer to ip reputation.
I’m pretty sure you don’t want a mail server at home
I have 3 mail servers at home

My ISP blocks the ports needed for mail hosting :/
Pretty sure I’d have to go through them to get the rdns PTR records pointed at my domain too. PITA
Mine did too, all it took was a ticket to their helpdesk to get it unblocked
Same, buts been several years now. Att fiber. Don’t use their modem either (except post power outage to establish coms back then I remove it.) I do use a ddyns service just in case. But it’s been the same ip for years
My local fiber provider doesn’t advertise static IPs but they haven’t changed my IP ever. I’ve been using them for going on 5 years
