Setting Up Cloudflare Argo and Access on a Raspberry Pi

Yep it should work great. If you have the expertise and inclination to set up port forwarding and dyndns, you'll get better performance with that, but IMO tunneling is the best solution for self-hosting for most people until IPv6 takes over.

I do have a firewall at home and I can open up a port and forward that to the laptop. Just that I don't want to spend money on DynDNS services and was trying to find a free solution. Thanks for confirming!

Self-hosting is so so cool. Nothing more satisfying that hosting your own website from scrappy ol equipment :-)

I used namecheap to register my domain, and they have an option for dynamic DNS without ongoing fees (besides domain fees, I guess). I would be surprised if other registrars didn't have something similar.

There are free DynDNS services for example DuckDNS https://www.duckdns.org/

Could also get a domain name and make a simple cron job and update your DNS. Works with many DNS registrars like Cloudflare.

Another example: https://freedns.afraid.org/

They generate you a line to drop in cron for automatic updates.
