How to Totally Control DNS in Your Home Lab https://www.virtualizationhowto.com/2025/08/how-to-totally-control-dns-in-your-home-lab/

Not an official holiday of course, but I've declared today as International Get Your Homelab Caught Up Day. I've been incredibly busy as of late with work and my homelab has been largely neglected. So far today I've upgraded one Proxmox server, upgraded my Zabbix server to the latest version, updated all my Docker containers as well as my TrueNAS server and set up two Pi-Hole containers and a Nebulasync one as well to keep them together on settings. Still to come: upgrade pfSense and upgrade 3 more Proxmox servers. Not sure if I'll get it all done today but I've got a good start on things. Now, if I could just finally retire (again) and I could keep this stuff up to date all the time. Anyone else have big things going on with your homelab this weekend?

Just wanted to thank @Brandon Lee for this blog post. I just referred back to it after a long time to help me get this set up again. https://www.virtualizationhowto.com/2025/04/sync-pi-hole-settings-and-blocklists-between-instances-with-nebula-sync/
