slickstack VS cloudflare-ddns-updater

I recently came across SlickStrack, which is a utility for setting up WordPress on Ubuntu LTS. It sets it up with Nginx and some other configs, by which it attempts to enforce some best practices with regards to speed and security.

I know this page is like 5 years old and I cannot comment anymore (closed):

......I never heard about that mod_PHP popularity was rising again compared with FPM pools. Is that totally fake news or that was true temporarily during 2017 only?

My understand that even cPanel hosting is still mostly using PHP-FPM with Apache and .htaccess (2021). Is there any case that using mod_PHP or disabling .htaccess can be faster than PHP-FPM or that is totally wrong.

For Nginx I know FPM is really the only option. And lots of arguments about ondemand, I see a lot of tutorials saying dynamic is better, but on this config file (PHP 7.4) and it says

"ondemand is best for the majority of VPS servers (contrary to many online tutorials) .......only incredibly high traffic servers should use dynamic after tuning settings?

To be fair, in this case, SlickStack is the nginx configuration. It's maintained by nginx professionals and is readily available to view in their github repo. He didn't think it was necessary to spell it out in his forum post.

I don't want to face difficulties if my ISP changes my IP address for whatever reason. So I'm planning to get something like this or this set up. I want to make sure I have my 'A' records set up correctly first.

Second this. I run this script with a cron job to update my Cloudflare as well and never had any problems with it.

I just use this script running on a VM to keep CloudFlare pointed to my public IP. Couldn’t figure out a way to get the UDMP to do it natively.

Well originally my plan, which I glossed over in my previous message, was to set my domain 'ABC' to point to my home IP, with a few CName, A or AAA records pointed to specific devices I wanted to access externally from my house (PC's I can RDP into for example), and I wanted to set up a subdomain (which I think would be an A and/or AAA record) which pointed to my Wix site so the only domain for it would be something like 'Wix.ABC.com', but it's looking like that won't be possible. I know Wix has options to set up A, AAA and Cname records on domains connected to a Wix website but as far as I'm aware they don't have an API for users to update them and I've never seen an 'app' to dynamically update them like the Cloudflare DDNs script. If I end up just buying a new domain for my Wix site then I guess making a subdomain from the ABC domain link to it wouldn't be much use.

If you want an easy Cloudflare DDNS script https://github.com/K0p1-Git/cloudflare-ddns-updater Unless you have an allocated DNS server already

Cloudflare API and this script on a nightly cron.

My only thoughts would be to purchase a domain from somewhere like GoDaddy and move the DNS nameservers for the domain over to a free Cloudflare account. Then use a script with the Cloudflare API to update your DNS entries to point to your NGINX host.

Here's the script I am using Cloudflare DDNS Updater

I never seemed to be able to get ddclient to work with cloudflare. I’d vouch for K0p1’s Cloudflare ddns script. It’s been working great for me
