I know someone that had a dynamic setup like you describe. It was simple and easy for 1 person access.
He had a local script checking the IP every 5 or 10 minutes (at home). When it no longer matched the last known IP, the script would write a small text file TO A WEB SERVER that was hosting a site he owns. Then from anywhere, he could access that file to find his way back home (so to speak). ~Roger On Tue, Oct 27, 2015 at 3:45 PM, Richard Gaskin <ambassa...@fourthworld.com> wrote: > Most of my servers have fixed IP addresses, but I'm about to add one to my > home where the IP will be dynamic. > > The most common solution for making servers with dynamic IPs findable is > DDNS, and there are of course many free providers of such a service. > > Put since this isn't a public server (just for testing and > experimentation) I'll be the only user, and it occurs to me I could take a > few minutes to craft a simple solution to know the server's current IP by > using a CGI at one of my sites hosted with real DNS in conjunction with an > auto-run app on the server to call it similar to what many DDNS services > use. > > I'm inclined to do that only because I like tinkering, but I thought I'd > check in here to see if this very specific use case was something others > might have a need for.
