I recently setup calibre-web and it's working great. What I'd like to do is access the library from outside of my home. I know that this involves dynamic DNS, has anyone set this up who can provide some guidance? I've heard of DuckDNS, is that a reasonable solution or is there another way I should go to get this working?

If you have a dynamic ip, you would need something like DuckDNS like you mentioned. This would expose your public ip to the general internet by doing a whois search on your domain. You could then simply port forward the necessary services, and that should be about it. Alternatively, if you have an existing domain, and are willing to use cloudflare, cloudflare tunnels is a good option. Allowing for pretty decent security as it acts as a reverse proxy, gives you a static ip, and doesn’t require port forwarding. All for free.
