Hey there, im looking into setting up a DNS Server in my Homelab, i would like something like this:

Server in Docker on my Proxmox Server
Server in Docker on my NAS and
Server in my "Cloud" Network

Do you guys have any recommendations on how i could accomplish this? Otherwise i will just use PiHole with sync again or something like it :)

Not really, just fed up with remembering IP-Adresses :)

Look at reverse proxy instead. While you can do what you're after with DNS, a bunch of the reverse proxy systems will automatically deal with SSL certificate, and there are even a couple that eliminate essentially all configuration outside of your docker file. Like, add a new docker and it automatically configures appName.domain.tld with SSL assigned. And if you ever decide to expose that address to the Internet, reverse proxy makes that simple and provides some security options as well.

I use Caddy for my reverse proxy running from my OPNsense firewall, but if you want the automation with docker there are better options.
