[Calibre-Web] No-IP

Running a TS-251 (x64)

I had a great setup going using the free Ngrok DDNS service. But a couple days ago they decided to no longer allow a custom sub-domain. I had been using my-domain.ngrok.io for 4 months but now have to pay if I want to keep going. Nope.

The script I was using worked great:

Code: Select all

ngrok http -region=us -hostname=my-website.ngrok.io 8162 >> /share/Web/repository.log &
echo Started ngrok MYSITE on: >> /share/Web/repository.log && date >>  /share/Web/repository.log

So I got a no-ip account, plugged it into the built-in support form and have a good connection, IP, URL, etc showing in the DDNS manager.

I do have MYSITE setup as a virtual host on port 8162.

But how to connect the MYSITE website to no-ip to allow remote connections? That shell file above did the trick for ngrok, but I don't see an obvious way to connect to no-ip.

This is actually for use with Calibre-Web, which is installed and working currently on default port 8083 for local access.

Thanks for some pointers!
