That's good to hear!
One feature I wish I could find was automatic DNS record creation for new docker containers I spawn.
Can't wait to check out Technitium.
Oh do I have a treat for you, check out DNSWeaver.
It's designed to do exactly that, to automate creation of DNS records for container services. I use it with Traefik. It reads from the same labels that Traefik already uses to proxy services but if you already use another reverse proxy and don't want to switch it supports dnsweaver-specific labels as well which are easy to add to your current deploys.
I used it both with pihole and technitium and actually used it to make the migration easier. Great tool.
Oh my. I am so thankful you shared this! I will be reading up on this and testing it out likely.
Currently I use Caddy. Which I eventually would like to automate Caddy with this: https://github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy
Currently I build my own Caddy based off the official image with the cloudflare plugin
DNSWeaver has support for caddy labels too! Specifically for use with caddy-docker-proxy. So yeah, really good fit for your architecture.
Again, thank you for your suggestions! I am contemplating switching to Adguard or Technitium from pihole. Just gotta figure out how I am gonna approach it
Good news is that I was playing around with DNSWeaver, and got it working with Pihole. However, this gives me incentive to move off from Pihole because DNSWeaver can't create TXT records for tracking which DNS records it creates so that it can clean up after itself.
So now I am torn between Adguard Home and Technitium. I just wish I could find a guide for getting Technitium working to at least on par with what I have setup.
I deployed Technitium with docker, but generally this got me heading in the right direction with the initial setup. It's more of an overview and quickstart than an in depth guide though.
Thank you! A start was what I was looking for!
