Greetings,
my current ISP refuses to provide me a static IP and they also blocks incoming connection to my ipv6 so I can’t host services on just ipv6 too. I will be changing my ISP when the plan expires.
without public IP I can host my own IRC bouncer but I would like to know what else can I self host? Thanks in advance!
You must log in or register to comment.
nearly everything, you don’t need a static ip to selfhost, look up DDNS :>
You also could just do lan
Rent a VPN, setup a wire guard tunnel and fuck your ISP!
Anyway having a real public IP on a residential block is basically impossible anywhere but in the USA, I guess.
Straya. I have a static ip. Costs like 5$ a month
Public IPV4 here. It’s not static, but very rarely rotates. DDNS ftw.
Telus Residential in Canada.
Anything. You don’t need any services to be public unless you choose for them to be.
actually I was thinking about hosting my own fediverse service to own my data but I can’t do that without a static public IP and domain name.
As long as you’re not behind CGNAT, you can use a dynamic DNS provider (like duckdns.org) and its web API to keep a record pointed at your IP. If you’re behind CGNAT, Tailscale also has a service (Tailscale Funnel) that can expose an internal service to the internet.
You could also pay for a small VPS with a static IP, and set up a Wireguard tunnel to your home server and an HTTPS proxy to forward traffic through the tunnel.
Also, just in general, use Tailscale. It’s serious black magic fuckery on the firewall.
You actually want a cloudfare tunnel if youre going to do that. It protects your real IP. Hosting a fediverse instance will draw attention to your real IP eventually otherwise.
