Thinking of self-hosting some basic tools; SearxNG, Bitwarden, Lemmy.
What kind of tools are you self-hosting right now? Which ones are easy to manage, which ones are awkward? 👀

I get my hosting for free from my workplace, which is cool but doesn't give me much leeway on what I can install. It's a plain PHP/MySQL system. Docker is out, and a lot of stuff with it. I'd run a server from apartment if I could, since I'm sitting on piles of old hardware, but I've yet to figure a way around my ever-changing IP address.
Right now, I have FreshRSS and my own websites, and Rss Bridge
I'd love to run more "Old School Tools", I just need to find them :)
I had luck setting up a dynamic DNS provider like no-ip and then setting up cloudflare's DNS to point requests to my domain at the no-ip domain name. It'd only be a problem for the windows that your IP has changed, but your dynamic DNS provider hasn't updated yet.
I'd only use it for tools for my own use in any case, 100% uptime wouldn't be important. Your technique seems like a great lead.
