Help Hosting Public Minecraft Servers
Hello everyone I'm trying to set up a server on my home Internet on my secondary machine that I'm running as a headless Ubuntu server.
I'm wanting to know how I could open a server using a domain instead of my Ipv4 being plugged into the server since it changes every so often because it's residential Internet.
Currently I am using pterodactyl and I can run servers off my IP fine but I'm having trouble trying to connect a domain that I have on cloudflare.
I also would like to know how I could host multiple servers off this device at the same time as well
Is there any way for me to do this for free with having to pay someone to host my domain as a website or something?

ππ©οΈ Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service based on Cloudflare! Access your home network remotely via a custom domain name without a static IP! - timothymiller/cloudflare-ddns
random one on google
havent tried it personally but itl probably work
I'll try the ddns but I have to get my domain to work on pterodactyl first haha
I can link the panel to my ip easily just when I put in the full domain I have issues and it doesn't want to work
DNS requires time to propagate
Why are you home hosting? is it for friends or a public network?
Mostly for friends and because I have the hardware on hand (Using an elitedesk with i5 9500 16gb RAM)
Mostly for friends?
if its anything more then IRL friends make sure to hire DDoS protection
and ideally purchase at minimum a business internet line, dedicated is better
Wouldnβt self host at home for the public unless you know what you are doing
if youβre using cloudflare, for minecraft to work you need to disable the proxy and set it to dns only
