I got a homelab, at the moment I am only running some local stuff and tailscale to reach my stuff remotely.

I can use tailscales ddns, but I would like a real domain. Is there a domain registrator that works with dynamic ips? Or do I need to use a CNAME instead of A record?

Do you want the host to be accessible fully from any host, or do you control all hosts you want to access it?

For mine, all the devices I want to access my personal host I have setup zerotier, and then pointed cloudflare at my zerotier address.

Any device I want to access my host (outside of my local network) requires zerotier.

I don’t want anything outside of my control accessing my host

Cloudflare, Porkbun, Namecheap and many other registrars offer dynamic DNS via API or a ddns client very easy to setup.

If you don’t mind that it’s Google, then Google Domains has exactly what you’re looking for.

Well shit, I guess I gotta start looking for a replacement. It’s one of the few Google services I still use.

Thanks for the heads up, must has missed that news.

CloudFlare ZT tunnels coupled with an Azure AD. Work’s amazingly with their containers to keep the tunnel alive.

What is Azure being used for?

using azure ad for user authentication. azure ad is free but i have a paid o365 so i use that to authenticate against for access to my containers that have a fqdn attached/directed to it. and most of the containers/apps have sso with azure ad integration option available so no more logging into each single app/container.

That is brilliant. I haven’t thought about SSOing my homelab.
