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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

In search for free domain I got IPQuick. It gives a random domain for any IP4&6. I know not reliable for commercial use but I just want a domain for nextcloud,fediverse and mail.

Questions 1.Is not IP keeps changing in short time will I need to Keep generating domains? 2.Any one using it?

I recommend duckdns instead, which is more well known in the DIY community. It's also a dyndns like other told you to use.

Will DDNS will be sufficient to host a fediverse server (I mean will other sites federate with it)

I don't want to be rude but if you can't afford a domain you probably shouldn't be hosting a fediverse server.

Honestly do you even need to expose services to the internet? Internet exposure is dangerous and is not necessary for 95% of things. You can use a mesh VPN like netbird or Tailscale if you need remote access.

This isn't me trying to offend you I just think it would be wise to reduce the scope of you projects.
