## Dynamic DNS |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most cloud providers / ISPs will charge you extra for a static IP address. If you're |
|
|
|
not hosting a highly reliable homeserver you can workaround this via dynamic DNS. To |
|
|
|
set this up, you'll need to get the username/password from your DNS provider. For |
|
|
|
google domains, this process is described [here](https://support.google.com/domains/answer/6147083). |
|
|
|
After you've gotten the proper credentials you can add the following config to your `host-vars`: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
matrix_dynamic_dns_username: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX |
|
|
|
matrix_dynamic_dns_password: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX |
|
|
|
matrix_dynamic_dns_provider: 'domains.google.com' |
|
|
|
``` |
|
