Comment on [question] Help me access my local homeserver using a public domain name
sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks agoI am not a very good sysadmin. All I remember is the DoH feature was causing me problems in accessing my LAN servers.
I have it a little different than you: I have a halfbaked split-DNS system wherein nc.mydomain.TLD resolves to my public IP address in public DNS, and then on the LAN, the router and the pihole both have DNS entries saying that nc.mydomain.TLD points to 192.168.1.10 . I know I should just have one DNS provider for simplicity or do it better somehow, but I don’t want a single point of failure BC the raspberry pi has failed in the past.
That’s why I started out setting an exception in firefox. I’ve since put other LAN-only services on mydomain.tld, and I think I was having trouble resolving those too without the exception. But unlike you I don’t have private ips in public DNS, although AFAIK that’s a fine practice.

Interesting setup. Funnily, I have one specific subdomain hosted on an actual cloud provider, publicly and all other subdomains are private and local. It works just fine :)
In the end, there’s like a tradeoff between enjoying your system as is and pouring I don’t know how many hours in setting it up when it’s a new idea haha
