Think about that for a minute. How would anyone wanting to connect to
your cloud know its ip address when the ip address changes?

Here put
     How can I host a website on a dynamically-assigned IP address
in the Second box at
     https://encrypted.google.com/advanced_search

You might consider bookmarking the above url for later use.  :)

I'm rather ignorant of networks and I tend to think in other 
terms.

Let me give an example.

When using a "variable" in a program, normally I can access 
it by physical address or by name.
Someone (a further layer) takes care of translating the 
higher level name in a machine level pyisical address.

As I know nothing of networks, I assumed it could be 
possible to access a website BY NAME, delegating some other 
service to translate it. If it is possible.
Is it not ? Never ever ?

Certainly. That's DNS.
You have an URL: www.mysite.org

It points to the actual IP. The IP changes: a script at your site
notices and updates the DNS entry to point to the new IP.

Of course, the people that are at that instant downloading a file will
be disrupted. They have to connect again and tell their client to
refresh. Depending, the client will be able to continue where it was or
will start again the download.

No, NFS is not what you want. Plain http is, if you want to host the
files yourself. You have to set an apache server for that.  But if you
use ADSL, your clients will have to download pretty slowly. Better get a
fibre to the home connection.

However, perhaps youtube is easier, if what you have are lessons in video.

An alternative to http, if you want to control who downloads, is scp
(secure copy). ie, ssh.

As to the DNS: you have to set up a dynamic DNS setup with someone. It
is possible that your router already knows about some of these, so you
need to register, perhaps pay, and set it up.

Anyone wanting to connect to another system can do so by name if there
is some Domain Name Service (DNS) server that has the name to ip address
defined.

Take yahoo.com for instance. Currently those are
$ whois yahoo.com | grep 'Name  Server:'
   Name Server: NS1.YAHOO.COM
   Name Server: NS2.YAHOO.COM
   Name Server: NS3.YAHOO.COM
   Name Server: NS4.YAHOO.COM
   Name Server: NS5.YAHOO.COM

So if I
     $ ping -c1 yahoo.com
one of the above DNS servers returns 72.30.35.9 and I can ping it.
A reverse lookup of that ip address gets the requests set to one of
the servers which returns media-router-fp1.prod1.media.vip.bf1.yahoo.com

Go ahead and run ping -c1 yahoo.com and you might note you do not get the
same values that I did.



Take a look at you DNS results, paste this in a terminal
  My_ip=$(wget -qO - http://myip.dnsomatic.com/)
  ping -c1 -w2 $My_ip

If wget is not installed run
    My_ip=$(curl http://myip.dnsomatic.com)
   ping -c1 -w2 $My_ip


If you do not see a name for your ip address, then there is no reverse
lookup for your ip address provided by your ISP's DNS servers.

Yeah, but YOUR server will have to provide that service (name to IP
mapping) too as IT is the only one that knows wgat IP it currently
got. So you would have to setup a name server (DNS server) too for a
domain, all of your own, which also means you have to buy that domain
for your exclusive usage.
Normally your provider does this, but mostly with varying IP you also
get a varying NAME too, either from that provider or from the network
switch that provides the IP.

Exception, if the IP's are in a private network (192.168.*.* or
10.*.*.* etc) _all_ of the machines have a single external IP: that of
the router/switch that provides that private lan. From outside you then
cannot connect to a specific machine as you can only can reach the
router and it is up to IT how it goes further.

Oh ... ouch ! I did not think about this aspect (of the name 
!). You're perfectly right.
How difficult to share data

I should find another solution.

Like finding a way to dynamically update some content on a 
facebook page of my group. It was mentioned a script that 
probed the assigned IP

$(wget -qO - http://myip.dnsomatic.com/)

and put it somewhere existing at a fixed url.
Sort of AJAX tech, if it still exist ... but I should get a 
stable page somewhere.

This way I'd circumvent also the need of the No-IP server.

On the FB group I'd make available the actual physical IP.
I still need to verify if there are some APIs to do this, if 
not, another TRUE web page if they allow just linking to 
elsewhere (a free provider I have examined for example does 
not allow this sort of web page, for reasons which I daren't 
even imagine : in my naive thought taking up so few space 
would be appreciated ... but it isn't)

He's wrong.  *your* server does not need to publish names to the
internet.  It just needs a name that the internet knows about.

For example, the domain "djph.net" is ultimately provided to you by
no-ip.com, and NOT anything directly under my control.

> This way I'd circumvent also the need of the No-IP server.

There is no circumventing the need for *someone* hosting the DNS -> IP
address information for you.  Whether it's no-ip, or your registrar, or
you (i.e. "soviet mario").

No, you simply need a dynamic dns provider.

Typically you tell your router to send incoming requests on some port to
go to a fixed machine inside.

a dynamic DNS prodiver can provide a constant name over ip address
changes (there's a lag of about 1 minute) so brief disconnections when
your ip address changes.

Except it takes much longer than that for the info to propagate through
the net. Your primary dns provider may change the name "instantlsy" but
most users do not use your dns provider. They use some other one. In
order that dns not saturate the the net with requests, they are cached
and those caches can takes hours and days to be replenished. So many of
your users will see the old address up to days after the address has
changed.

With TTL 60 seconds it won't take much longer than 60 seconds for the
change to propogate.

Hours and days only if the source DNS serves with a high TTL and the
dynamic ones no not.

rethinking to this reply, I'm wondering if it incidentally 
happened to be misleading or if it was meant to

(with reference to No-IP.com and so on)

if it was just a mistake, no problem.

No. it was not. You asked how to have your own cloud on your home
system. For anyone to connect, they would have to know your home ip
address, and right there is the rub. You could give them the current
ip address when you tell them about it. When it changes the could not
connect until they know the new ip addy.

Ah, but at the time of your post, I assumed you did not know of those
other services, or what was needed until you did the suggested google
lookup or learned a bit more about it in this thread.

You'll probably need a subscription with a dyanmic DNS provider to fix
that. DYN and NO-IP are two providers that offer a hassle free free trial 
(and then start to hassle you after a year or so) linux package
"ddclient" can keep your dynamic record updated (also many routers can too)

An alternative is to rent a small virtual private server from Linode,
Digital Ocean, or Vultr, etc. and put the cloud service there.
