Install your own DNS Server
I want to do a series on "rolling your own" and how you can use open-source software for just about all your needs. In this way, you can learn about how some software architectures work under the hood, how to configure, how to research and understand what is needed in order to get something like this setup and running. If you're like me, you're probably on a time-budget, so I won't delay, let's get right into it. Install bind9 Let's start with the software required. If you are starting from a bare headless linux install like a Docker container or a fresh image, there may be a few things to install like your favorite text editor since we will be editing files. If you don't know of a text editor in Linux, you can use nano (yes, I probably just infuriated a third of you -- I can already see you in the comments section). I like it because it's simple and key-combination based, rather than arcane spell based as far as the navigation is concern...
