DuckDNS for Routing Internet Traffic to your Home Lab with Dynamic IPs from your ISP.
Duck DNs is a dynamic DNS service. If you have a home IP address that chnages occasionally, or often, and you’re wanting to run any kind of homelab or servers that you may want to reach from ourside your home network, then you have a few options, but the easiest (IMO) is a dynamic DNS service. DuckDNS is a free service, at least for the reasons that we’ll be utilizing it.
Essentially, you register a DuckDNS url (example.duckdns.org) for your home, and then run a service in docker inside your home LAN, that keeps track of your current public IP address, and updates that IP to the DNS of your registered DuckDNS URL(s).
So, if your ISP, or happen-stance, causes your IP to change, you will still have access to your homelab via the registered URL.
