You could also get a second static IP address from your ISP to keep it separate from your home network.
Is it possible to run an instance without a static IP address?
Yes, you can use the Cloudflare proxy and update your dynamic IP with ddclient: https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/manage-dns-records/how-to/managing-dynamic-ip-addresses
Thanks for sharing this!
From a local device in your home, no, not that I know of. It might be possible with some wild proxy and port forward setup, but that's a little above my head tbh.
