Hello folks,
I got my static IP and I am very happy now, I have been hosting a lot of services since I got the static IP, however I still have to host a fediverse service however it’s not that easy to host any fediverse service, I tried to host GoToSocial but the devs said they don’t support Podman and my server is podman only ( I tried installing docker but it was failing for some reason so I gave up and used podman instead of docker).
these are the services I am currently hosting ( basically all the easy services which you can host with just “docker compose up -d” :p ):
- Invidious: https://invidious.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org/
- Qbittorrent ( web ui )
- TheLounge
- XMPP server: https://chat.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org/
feel free to suggest some other cool services which I can host :D

meanwhile I’m on a dynamic ip that hasn’t changed in 18 months
Most ISPs (especially smaller ones it seems) just run a basic DHCP server with leases expiring at a set interval. As long as your stuff is on and working when the lease renews, you’ll pull the same IP forever.
As long as you don’t want to run a mail server. DHCP ranges are cancer to ip reputation.
I’m pretty sure you don’t want a mail server at home
Still kinda sad that ip6 still hasn’t taken off, that would give literally every toaster in the world its own static ip
I’m convinced it hasn’t taken off because they’re too complicated for the human brain to easily reference. Four triplets is simple enough.
All the shortening rules trip me up. I’d much rather work with addresses with standardized number of hextets and ideally the same number of digits than not have to type a few zeros.
all of these are the same address: 2041:0000:0001:0000:0000:0000:875B:131B 2041:0000:0001::875B:131B 2041:0:0001::875B:131B 2041:0000:1:0000:0000:0000:875B:131B 2041::0001:0000:0000:0000:875B:131B 2041::1:0000:0000:0000:875B:131B 2041::0001:0:0:0:875B:131B 2041:0:1::875B:131B 2041:0:1:0:0:0:875B:131B 2041:0000:1:0000:0000:0000:875B:131B 2041:0000:01:000:00:0:875B:131B 2041:00:1::0:875B:131B
Ugh. Yes.
The fact that they have shortening rules already shows it’s too complicated.
They would’ve been better off with a shorter length, and ditching hex for a base 32 string.
Imo they should have kept the ipv4 format but instead of maxing out at 255.255.255.255 make it 65535.65535.65535.65535 this aproach makes the address pool more than 4000000000 times larger and is backward compatible with ipv4 so it could be a drop in replacement for most things. And if we ever do end up running out of over quintilion (18446744073709551616) ips we can just keep going up, to 4294967295.4294967295.4294967295.4294967295.
