Hi, thanks for the positive feedback on my inaugural post :) Although I don't officially have a static IP, practically I have one, as I can't recall the last time that my ISP changed it on me. I'm using pingdom to alert me whenever my sites go down, so I've added my blog there and can update DNS when that next happens.
I use uptimerobot.com/ for my monitoring (Pingdom is nicer but I didn't see a completely free tier...). DDNS isn't too hard to configure if you wanted to automate the process of updating your DNS record if your home IP were to ever change.
I published a workshop on setting up the Hugo site on GCP with Caddy to my YouTube channel if you are interested: youtube.com/watch?v=xo_4n2Reh58
I didn't know about uptimerobot, that's a good tip, thanks. I saw in your post you linked that you're using Docker. I've just posted how I'm using docker, you may be interested in the Caddy 1 http.git directive: dev.to/mark_saward/easy-updates-fo....

Nice post! Do you have a static IP to use with your Raspberry PI or do you plan to use DDNS?
I use Hugo + Caddy hosted on GCP for this site (devopsdirective.com/posts/2020/02/...) on a free f1-micro vm and it has been great so far!

free f1-micro does sound like a good idea!

I also made the setup code available here: github.com/sidpalas/hugo-gcp-deploy
