So it occurred to me that sync thing was so easy to setup between devices and that I don’t care much for having an actual fully qualified domain name. So my question is, could someone please write some sort of server where I can just access my various music, photoprism, caliber, etc without actually having my computer DNSd at cloud flare?
I don’t mean like a script that sends my new IP to a proxy or something. I mean more like a Firefox extension maybe where I input a big ol hash and it magically knows how to communicate to my computer and serve the websites to my phone or other computer?
Please? Or does that already exist? I recall the matrix app was sort of similar to that. Kind of…
It’s called a hosts file
This is a stupid solution though.
You really want a local DNS forwarder. There’s a ton. Dnsmasq being one of the most widely deployed. Your router probably runs it and has the ability to set static DNS entries from DHCP as well.
