Dynamic DNS does not allow redirecting main domain

My YunoHost server

Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3B+ at home
YunoHost version: YunoHost 4.2.6.1 (stable)
I have access to my server : Through SSH | through the webadmin | (occasionally) direct access via keyboard / screen | …
Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance ? : no

Description of my issue

Goal: I would like to use my main domain, and not a sub-domain, for my home-hosted Yunohost instance.

Background: since my RPI3B+ is connected to a home consumer network, I do not have a static IP address. This means I have to use the Dynhost service provided by my domain name provider, OVH, coupled with the ddclient on my Raspberry pi.

The problem: OVH Dynhost allows to dynamically redirect only a subdomain - e.g., www.mydomain.tld.
Unfortunately, this is extremely impractical as far as services such as webmail and XMPP go, as no one will want a @www.mydomain.tld address

I would be very grateful if anyone who had a similar experience, or knows better than I do of possible alternatives, may share their knowledge, tips and tricks on how to redirect the main domain name to my home-hosted instance.

Have you tried a CNAME entry from www.domain.tld to domain.tld.?

Thank you for the advice!
I have tried that way, but unfortunately it clashes with the dynhost. I manage to add the redirect from mydomain.tld to www.mydomain.tld, but then the latter will not be updated automatically anymore
