How do you deal with the non-static IP when hosting something from home? (lemmy.ml)

I have a few single board computers at home that I want to try hosting some public facing stuff with, but what's the best way to deal with the fact that my home internet is not on a static IP? Would I have to host my site from a DynDNS domain and hope that when the IP changes, the DNS caches of users expire quickly enough to keep them connected?

Cloudflare Tunnels makes this easy.

I use dynDNS, specifically duckdns.org. Works perfectly
