Access and Share WebODM NAS Remotely?

Hi!

I have WebODM installed via Docker on my Synology NAS and everything works perfectly. My question, is how do I access WebODM remotely? I obviously cannot access it through the local IP address remotely and have no idea how to give it an accessible URL such as http://myremoteodm.com.

This is all new to me so any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

You need to register a DNS. (e.g. no-ip.com has free ones for example). Or you can register a top level domain from domains.google.com (or from many other providers) for a small yearly fee.

Then you need to create an A record that points the DNS to your IP address.

If your IP address changes, then you need to install a monitor program that routinely updates the DNS (so you don’t have to do it by hand).

Hi! Thanks for responding and for the information. I am familiar with domains and registration so this should be easier than I thought. Is it possible to have a domain name thats already hosting a website such as mydomain.com and to simply create a subdomain such as mapping.mydomain.com and point an β€œA” record to my IP address? That way I have my main site AND the mapping site all on the same domain? I suppose a Google search would give me the info I need for that.

Regardless, thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction :+1:t2::+1:t2::+1:t2::smiley:
