Do you know of any Android/iOS app that keeps track of the current device IP and allows the user to send the IP via webhook (or anything alike) to a server? by tech2but1 in c/main@selfhosted.forum

The correct answer has been given a few times here, split tunnelling.

But your idea is mental. If your IP changes and access is locked down by IP address how do you expect your phone to connect to your server to tell it about the new IP if it can;t access the server due to the fact it hasn't got the correct IP in the allow list?

I've looked at a couple of these type things (including Portainer and CosmosOS) and they just add another level of complexity. https://github.com/louislam/dockge looks to be a lot simpler and allows you to use commands that everyone is familiar with.

I use Seafile for this. Switched after getting fed up of fixing Nextcloud every time I updated it.

DokuWiki. Quite a few natty plugins to go with it, light, simple, host anywhere.

Easy docker for someone who "doesn't do docker" (alien.top)

There are a few things I want to host that are very firmly "docker only" images. I get docker, I understand why it exists but I can't get into it. I have had docker and portainer running in the past but found it cumbersome (portainer updates were a minor annoyance, and updating docker images seemed "wrong") but I can't get away from it.

I happened across CasaOS earlier which sort of looked like something that would help, then looked at alternatives to this and saw someone suggest Cosmo which says it needs installing on docker so I got confused again!

Is there anything that's truly worth using to make installing/managing/updating docker images simple or is it just more complicated in the long run?

For the record I do have ESXi and countless VMs, I find spinning up a VM simple and it suffices for all my needs apart from a couple of specific things (like a Google Photos replacement). I don't really want to learn docker just to use Immich!

Buy a cheap NVR. Much easier than pissing about with servers and Windows. Most will have a partner app and simple cloud connectivity. Much easier all round.
