Self-hosted blog - do I need a static IP address? (lemmy.ml)

hi everyone,

I was just about to self-host a Ghost blog but then was warned that my ISP might change my external IP address at any time, so I would need to pay for a static IP address.

Is that true?

(I'd not seen much about that in stuff I've looked up so far about self hosting)

How are you hosting? And do you have a domain? Lot's of good advice here, but knowing if you're running on a Pi, in Docker, etc, would help others give you the easiest/best method.

In short, you do not need a static IP.

@Paddy66 it depends.

I host everything, including website and email server behind a regular dynamic ip for years.

And no I don't get block by any gafam.

But I am lucky because my ISP doesn't change that often (maybe twice a year). And my domain provider provides an API that my ISP router can use to update my IP automatically.

It may work, it may not :)

Kind of depends on how you want to access it, and how you want others to access it.

You could also put it on a cloud system and not worry about your local connection.

You come to a post on SELFHOSTED@lemmy.world... And downvote everyone posting relevant discussion then post "USE CLOUD".

You can self host services on cloud servers.
