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.
