I’m starting to play with an old laptop that I have installed Ubuntu Server on, with Nextcloud and Docker.
Using Docker Compose I installed Nginx and now I would like to try to do the DDNS thing on a domain that I registered with an Italian provider.
I looked at a few DynDns providers and they seem to me to be all American or in any case on American infrastructure (DuckDNS on AWS, etc)
Is there anything you can recommend that is EU-based and who has a good reputation in general?
Free is preferred.
This one has been suggested also in other threads, seems like the best option.
One thing I noticed is that virtually all the EU DDNS providers are German. Is there a reason for it?
Germany’s legislation is largely spearheading the effort. They aren’t trying to build the infrastructure to support it, they already have the infrastructure. They are one of if not the biggest GDPR actors and have a large datacenter presence through companies like Hetzner and DE-CIX.
