rootinit1424yI didn't realize that a network had to be of a certain size to justify a DNS server. I'd set one up for like 3 devices just 'cause I want my own damn DNS server.
-
@rootinit I mean, the server only had around 7 virtual machines on it. But I keep having to look up ip addresses, so dns it is.
-
Bleh, not worth it. Just run mDNS. Unless you really want to run it just because - which is of course fine.
-
@AlmondSauce I've never heard of mDNS until now, seems neat. I'm still a baby when it comes to networking stuff honestly. Education was pretty lacking in that department.

rootinit1424y@AlmondSauce Takes like 10 minutes to roll out bind9 on any Linux machine. Not a hassle for me.

@rootinit Just another service to run, patch, monitor, etc. No big deal, but I avoid these things if I can.
Homelab is starting to get big enough to justify a dns server. Time to start anthropomorphizing my servers.
