NextCloud Live!

Signed up with Cha ngeIP for their free dynamic DNS service. I have to manually update my IP...which is fine...and I prefer, for now! I'm more interested in playing with it right now. I'm not ready to rely on it at this time. They have instructions on how to update the IP address from the server on their site which I will explore later.

Having a dynamic DNS allowed me to use Let's Encrypt, for secure access to my NextCloud server which I successfully accessed with the Linux appimage client and the Android app.

I did have one problem externally SSHing into server using the Dynamic DNS.

bill@billb-MS-7B79 ~ $ ssh user @_????_dynamic-dns.net

ssh: connect to host ???? .dynamic-dns.net port 22: Connection refused

bill@billb-MS-7B79 ~ $

This was because I forgot to port forward that port an my physical router. Doing that fixed the problem!
