I’m starting to play with an old laptop that I have installed Ubuntu Server on, with Nextcloud and Docker.

Using Docker Compose I installed Nginx and now I would like to try to do the DDNS thing on a domain that I registered with an Italian provider.

I looked at a few DynDns providers and they seem to me to be all American or in any case on American infrastructure (DuckDNS on AWS, etc)

Is there anything you can recommend that is EU-based and who has a good reputation in general?

Free is preferred.

    I am studying how to enact a good security at the same time. This is all first-approach and pure experimentation for me, albeit extremely enriching since I feel I am really learning how the Internet actually works, so please excuse my inaccurate language and maybe pointless requirements.

      Honestly, that is awesome! Absolutely try things. Seeing what works and doesn’t is a great way to learn. The sneaky thing about hiding is that it works great until it fails utterly. (Security through obscurity.) I’m sure everyone who says “don’t do that” says it because they left some random thing open once and it was a disaster. (I lost a private wiki with all my notes back in the day.)

      Keep at it. ;)

        Thanks for the encouragement!

        Today I learned (after banging my head against the wall for 2 days) what a CGNAT is.

        So, no port forwarding for me (no IPv6 either, only IPv4).
