Do you need a simple DNS server for a home-lab or to support a VCSA install? How does a 32.9MB Docker Container Sound? Read on to learn about my solution.
During a recent Home Lab incident, I was reminded during my attempted install of the Virtual Center Server Appliance that a DNS server is required. After a bit of research and testing, I was able to produce something that was perfect for my use case. As usual, I like to share such solutions so I spent a bit more time to get it clean, reproducible and reusable by others and wrote up my experience here: Lightweight DNS Server for Home or Test lab. I hope you find this helpful!
