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!

    people often seem to have a misinformed idea that the first item on your dns server list would be preferred and that is very much not the case

    I did not know that. TIL that I am people!

    Do you know if it’s always this way? For example, you mentioned this is how it works for DNS on a laptop, but would it behave differently if DNS is configured at the network firewall/router? I tried searching for more info confirming this, but did not find information indicating how accurate this is.
