UserLAnd VS caddy-dynamicdns

UserLAnd

https://github.com/CypherpunkArmory/UserLAnd/issues/591 might help?

Actually, you know what, fuck it you're right that's way too many steps I'm just gonna use UserLAnd.

UserLAnd is like a virtual machine app that can run Linux OSes, but can also run specific single apps. And unlike Termux it's a "real" Linux install, so troubleshooting and code from online usually just work. Uses scoped storage of Android 10 unfortunately, but I could still use rsync from the terminal to edit code outside of the scoped UserLAnd application storage and keep the inside updated (on my current device running Android 10). I think they updated to the new 11+ storage standards internally, but it's likely still screwed up on 10 anyways.

UserLAnd (version 2.8.3): Easiest way to run GNU/Linux Distros on Android - no root required

This plugin for dynamic DNS: https://github.com/mholt/caddy-dynamicdns, supports any of these DNS providers you find on this page https://github.com/orgs/caddy-dns/repositories?type=source. You can use DuckDNS for example which is also a free domain.

Sure, you can do this with nginx and dynamic DNS if you really want to, but Caddy does it all for you, with automatic HTTPS, and runs natively on Android (or in Termux): https://caddy.community/t/running-caddy-2-on-android/13993?u...

Here's the dynamic DNS plugin: https://github.com/mholt/caddy-dynamicdns -- it will just update the A records for your domain directly with your DNS provider, no need for a third-party service.

Re 3: What you really need is Caddy [0] with this dynamic DNS module: https://github.com/mholt/caddy-dynamicdns

Caddy has state-of-the-art certificate automation and TLS support, and with that module, it automatically updates DNS records if users have non-static IPs. It'll also serve certs for localhost domains (use *.localhost IMO).

Caddy has a (WIP) dynamic DNS module that will keep your records updated for you: https://github.com/mholt/caddy-dynamicdns

Neat. I had a similar frustration so I wrote a dynamic DNS module for Caddy; https://github.com/mholt/caddy-dynamicdns - it can be extended to work with any dns provider that has an api. (It's what I currently use with Cloudflare)
