DNS? (lemm.ee)

Howdy Everyone!

As I am setting up my infrastructure at home using docker I wanted to ask, is it better to have DNS, something like pi-hole, on my main docker swarm or would it be better to have it on a dedicated machine/docker host separate from the rest of my infrastructure?

Thanks for the input!

I have a quite rich selfhosted stack, and DNS is indeed part of it.

For such a critical piece of infrastructure I didn't needed a container, just installed Unbound and did some setup for ad blocking and internal DNS rules.

Here my setup: https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=router:dhcp-dns

You could go with an independent pihole maybe, but that would double the chances of a hardware failure...

Using one device for everything might seem risky, but actually has less chances of failure ;)
