You can use a ddns such as duckdns or host on github pages with jekyll or something
How are you hosting? And do you have a domain? Lot's of good advice here, but knowing if you're running on a Pi, in Docker, etc, would help others give you the easiest/best method.
In short, you do not need a static IP.
Hi, I'm using Docker - one container for Ghost and one for Nginx Proxy Manager.
I've decided to go with DDNS but am having trouble choosing a reliable free provider. I've seen Dynu.com recommended but that is not available in the dropdown list of servers in my router's section on DDNS. Is that relevant?
Or would I just ignore the router settings and set it up some other way?

Kind of depends on how you want to access it, and how you want others to access it.
Cloudflare Tunnel is a good fit to your use case. You only need a domain name to expose your web server via Cloudflare.

I used tailscale and lightsail VPS from India. https://hsps.in/post/how-i-host-public-apps-using-tailscale/
You could also put it on a cloud system and not worry about your local connection.
You come to a post on SELFHOSTED@lemmy.world... And downvote everyone posting relevant discussion then post "USE CLOUD".
You can self host services on cloud servers.
