I’m new to self-hosting. All I did so far was install Ubuntu Server, enable SSH and tried setting up DuckDNS, which I could not set up automatic update of my IP following the documentation, neither updating manually through the website, which even though seems to be changed, when I ssh the domain, I get the initial IP

Anyone using DuckDNS? Is it working properly for you guys? Did I just mess something up?

What other DDNS providers would you recommend me?

    I got my domain through namecheap. So, I just use them, they have a dynamicdns implementation. I setup a namecheapddns docker container that auto updates mine.

      Same! Except I use windows and they have a small app that you can install and run in the background which will update the IP if needed.

      I also used duckdns for years before moving to this and I never had any issues using that either. It was the same thing, small app that ran on your machine and you needed the token and it just worked.

      Yep same DDClient is super simple to setup with name cheap. Followed ip address changes with very little if any down time. I’ve never noticed between ip changes.
