Real domain with dynamic IP (lemmy.world)

I got a homelab, at the moment I am only running some local stuff and tailscale to reach my stuff remotely.

I can use tailscales ddns, but I would like a real domain. Is there a domain registrator that works with dynamic ips? Or do I need to use a CNAME instead of A record?

I think using the cloudflare API is the way to go. You could probably set up an internal service that translates your home router's dyndns request to a cloudflare API call.

    Only if you had root access to your router. It’s a lot easier to write or find a very simple update script and schedule it to run every now and then via crontab.
