Any docker recommendations for a utility that can update DNS, based on current external IP?
I’ve used ddclient in the past, but it seems like its not working anymore, oddly.

I’m running a few services (publicly accessible media server, a matrix server, etc.). I’m also running some internal services which I VPN for.
For VPN use cases, I’ve considered using Tailscale a bunch of times, and still think about giving it a shot. I’ve always shied away due to the lack of self-hosted-ness, and because the throughput isn’t great. I know that the throughput issue isn’t really an issue since my requirements are low - but still.
For the public services – could Cloudflare help with the dynamic IP issue?
Tailscale isn’t really that slow once you connect it creates direct connections between nodes. There is some latency when you first connect like 100ms before derp lets the nodes directly connect. I get full link level throughput between oci nodes and my house/cellphone. I even went so far as disabling all external ports on my cloud instances.

Check out this for cloudflare it will mostly allow you to expose a service if you let them manage dns for you. https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-apps
