Hey there, im looking into setting up a DNS Server in my Homelab, i would like something like this:
- Server in Docker on my Proxmox Server
- Server in Docker on my NAS and
- Server in my “Cloud” Network
Do you guys have any recommendations on how i could accomplish this? Otherwise i will just use PiHole with sync again or something like it :)
I use pihole for its good filtering, selective filtering, statistics and logging capabilities, and technitium dns as its upstream for it’s superior capability in defining dns records, and because I can use a DoH dns provider with it
Do you need dedicated hardware for pihole?
you don’t need to. but then for the sake of easier maintenance you want to containerize it (docker/podman), and be careful to not overload your pihole device, because then DNS service will go away or get large delays (especially if the device is overloaded with ram usage, and swaps a lot)
besides, my experience has been that swapping to USB storage on a raspberry pi is unstable enough to cause a kernel panic every few months
