Hey there, im looking into setting up a DNS Server in my Homelab, i would like something like this:

  1. Server in Docker on my Proxmox Server
  2. Server in Docker on my NAS and
  3. 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 :)

    Two pihole servers, one n VM vlan, one on device VLAN with OpnSense delivering them both via DHCP options. I sometimes update lists, like yearly… At best. They’ve been there over 7 years. Calling them robust is correct. The hypervisors are 3 proxmox servers in cluster using ceph. Intrl NUC 3rd Gen. Less than 80w combined with all vms. Also 8 years old no failures but tolerant for it.

    I use AdGuard in my OpnSense firewall.

    Why do you want a server on proxmox and NAS? or have I read this wrong?

    Unbound on my OPNsense firewall. I don’t have advice for you, do you have some specific goals besides just having a DNS?

    Two PiHole servers. One is hosted via docker on my primary file server and the other is hosted in a Hyper-V VM on my sole windows box. The VM one is also my DHCP server.

    I have a philosophy of sticking close to reference implementations and upstream in the homelab because it forces me to learn principles rather than implementations. I use bind9, but that upstreams to pihole on a different port. It is hard to configure for sure, editing zone files in vi, but I learn a lot analyzing the reference syntax to understand features. I also use isc-dhcp-server for DHCP, again manually populating dhcpd.conf.

    Bind can peer with other instances; right now it is it’s own ipam vm on my proxmox with bind/isc-dhcp/pihole docker, but I’m looking at dropping some hardware at a family member’s for a site 2.

    Two Pi-Hole docker container on two different servers. OpnSense DNS Plugin. Fallback, NextDNS Alternative, AdGuard is also a good DNS.
