I have my DNS with a cloud provider that I want to stop using, and was considering where to move it (a few domains with a handful entries each). At some point I was wondering if I should run it myself. I have two VPS’ in different data centers with fixed IP addresses, and I read up a bit - seems like this is doable.
I am not set on what software to use. I would like it to run in a container. Does anybody have any recommendations, positive or negative?
Hey - lots of good points, thanks. I think I’ll give this a try on a less used domain of mine, just to get a practical feel for it.
I do appreciate the arguments against, but to an extent, if both my VPS’s are down, so is basically everything served by the domain. I will have to make sure monitoring is taken care of, and I do have a completely remote email address from all of this.
knot seems to have a current docker image maintained by the project, so I’ll give that one a try and see how it goes. Stay tuned for me coming back crying and repenting in a few day’s time, I guess :)
If worst comes to worst, I can always go back to where I came from, it will have been a learning experience.
