Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

You should be able to do the crontab approach with any DNS provider that has an API – just need to change the URL and the API key, obviously.
If your provider or registrar doesn't offer an API consider using one that does. DeSEC.io is free to use and reliable.
I've discovered DeSEC recently too and have been positively surprised by it. I use it for DNS but they also have dyndns on a shared domain similar to DuckDNS.
Oh right I had forgotten about that, you can use DeSEC even without a domain, for dynamic DNS.
