Hello, This is my first website and I want some feedback from you guys. It's very basic and I haven't added much. just wanted to host something so I threw invidious and whoogle instance there. My ISP doesn't provide a static IP so I had to host it on tor :( what else do you think I should host there? server spec: 15 year old computer with i3 first gen cpu.

Edit: Here is the URL if you want to visit the website: ot6ewcgzioleglf2jp2iofludol3hw5gcaycaj7n5tolf6wcu7ofbzid.onion

Even without a static, you can use services like ddns.net to auto update if your IP address changes with their app. Pretty simple setup, free version too.

That's what I do. Funnily though, I can't remember which device is hosting the auto update client to update ddns. As long as it's still updated right? Lol

What do you use to auto update ddns?

[-] Darkrai@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

The auto update client, it's halfway down this page on how to automatically update your hostname/IP.

Gotcha. I've got my router doing auto update - initiatally I thought you were referring to an auto update tool for the renewal you have to do every month with the free ddns that makes you do a captcha. I should probably just pay for the next tier up tbh

Yeah, it's probably running as a service, no icon anywhere. Should be good.

But just to note, this doesn't work if your ISP places you in a double NAT situation by using carrier grade NAT
