I’m finally moving my selfhosting experiments from a VPS to a physical machine in my house but, since I don’t have a static IP address, I opted to use the dynamic dns service offered by Cloudflare.

On their official website I’ve seen suggested ddclient but I haven’t find that much information on which labels should I add to set it up. Therefore, I’ve also found this docker image that seems pretty clean and easy to set up, but the video talking about it was of 3 years ago and I’ve seen that the github repository has been archived last year…

Which option (not necessarily among the two above) do you prefer to set up your Dynamic DNS with Cloudflare? (I don’t know if this can be an important information to add or not, but the Linux server I’m using is running NixOS)

EDIT: I just realized that ddclient (that I was already considering to set up ddns with cloudflare) also supports Infomaniak directly! (I don’t know how before making this post I didn’t saw it 😅) So I’ll probably go for that way in order to cut out Cloudflare from the equation and rely on one external company less. Thank you :)
