A few months ago I went on a quest for a DNS server and was dissatisfied with current maintained projects. They were either good at adblocking (Blocky, grimd…) or good at specifying custom DNS (CoreDNS…).
So I forked grimd and embarked on rewriting a good chunk of it for it to address my needs - the result is leng.
it is fast
it is small
it is easy
you can specify blocklists and it will fetch them for you
you can specify custom DNS records with proper zone file syntax (SRV records, etc)
it supports DNS-over-HTTPS so you can stay private
it is well-documented
can be deployed on systemd, docker, or Nix
I have been running it as my nameserver in a Nomad cluster since! I plan to keep maintaining and improving it, so feel free to give it a try if it also fulfils your needs
If you are having trouble installing or the documentation is not clear, feel free to point it out here or in the issues on github. Personally I think it is simplest to use docker :)

Damn! In a previous comment somewhere else I had just recently shared my dispair at how I hadn’t found an easy to follow self hosted DNS server.
I appreciate this immensely and hope to enjoy it once I figure out how to install!
Keep up any and all good work you feel passionate enough about to crank out helpful things in physical reality.
If it’s helpful to you it’s helpful in reality!
