If I want to collaborate with other people on self-hosted a git repo, do I need to have a static IP or a router device that is compatible with services like noip, and open up ports which opens up my local network to constant attacks from outside it? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] dustyData@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago It is usually easier to rent a vps with a domain to run as a reverse proxy or a tunneling server between your server and users. Dynamic DNS and static IPs depend on the internet provider offering real outbound access and not a NAT. Plus any internet facing service should be hardened for security in some way, which it is usually provided in service packages for the vps. permalink fedilink source parent
