Have had this setup running for at least 5 years, works flawlessly, and running it in a docker container meant all I had to when moving to a new homeserver was copy the config file

I use ddclient with cloudflare as my domains nameserver.
Never had a static ip, but I’ve never had an issue with it changing because I’ve always used this.

If your domain registrar doesn’t do DDNS, and you don’t want to pay extra for one that does, you can get free DNS for life at Hurricane Electric:

All you need to do is finish their little online IPv6 course. TBH the “course” is just setting up your own server properly and proving it.

It’s one of the features I love about Njalla for domains the most.
You don’t even need a ddns service because they support updating through simple https calls.
So I have a super tiny script that basically checks the WAN IP through ipify, then checks that against the routers current WAN IP, and if they match it does nothing and ends, but if its different, it sends out a curl with the new IP. I have it running every few minutes in a cronjob. It’s actually technically my service with the most uptime according to healthchecks.io,
