hi everyone,
I was just about to self-host a Ghost blog but then was warned that my ISP might change my external IP address at any time, so I would need to pay for a static IP address.
Is that true?
(I’d not seen much about that in stuff I’ve looked up so far about self hosting)
Not necessarily, Cloudflare tunnels, headscale/tailscale will sort that issue out amongst several other ways
I was going to use Cloudflare to sort this, but I’m uncomfortable how big they are getting / lack of competition in that part of the market. So we looked at Pangolin as an alternative, but it’s a faff to self host.
Hence why we’re back at exposing it straight out the back of Nginx Proxy Manager.
I get that… fo me though as I have been using Cloudflare for many years I can’t see any reason to change yet. That of course may change
But how will a tailnet help for a blog? At some point, the https port needs to be open.
Tailscale funnel is made for this.
