Hello –

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?

Thanks :)

    Check out Unbound. I am sure there is a docker image available for it. Unbound used to be recursive only. Now it has support for both recursive and authoritative DNS. The docs are good for it and there are plenty of examples. But that much said, I am curious why you want to do this. DNS is a really critical service. Chances are your cloud based service will be more reliable with faster resolution times. I am very pro-self hosting and I don’t do it myself. I don’t even do email myself either.
