I’m new to self-hosting. All I did so far was install Ubuntu Server, enable SSH and tried setting up DuckDNS, which I could not set up automatic update of my IP following the documentation, neither updating manually through the website, which even though seems to be changed, when I ssh the domain, I get the initial IP

Anyone using DuckDNS? Is it working properly for you guys? Did I just mess something up?

What other DDNS providers would you recommend me?

    I put the curl command to update my duckdns IP in cron about 13 years ago, and have never needed to touch it once.

    It’s just worked for me

      I did this too, and my log always gets an OK. But the IP never changes.

        The ip shouldnt change unless the server is down for a period of time and the ip is dynamic.

        If it is returning OK then it sounds like duckdns is working as intended
