Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I’ve not automated creation of records for new services, but I’ve made it easier for myself by making
hostname.domain.ext
the dynamic DNS (managed by a simple cron job with curl commands interacting with the API), and allservice.domain.ext
just CNAME to the main record.I don’t think I’ll be automating the creation of the CNAME records because something tells me I’d end up leaving a bunch of dead service DNS records behind.
I think that this could be the cleanest solution, could you share the curl command you used to interact with the API? (Of course replacing your actual access token with ** etc.)
