I’ve wanted to install pihole so I can access my machines via DNS, currently I have names for my machines in my /etc/hosts files across some of my machines, but that means that I have to copy the configuration to each machine independently which is not ideal.

I’ve seen some popular options for top-level domain in local environments are *.box or *.local.

I would like to use something more original and just wanted to know what you guys use to give me some ideas.

    I own a domain I purchased thru cloudflare.

    public facing services are say xyz.mydomain.com

    internal facing is xyz.local.mydomain.com

    This was internal access pipes into pihole, DNS directs it to Traefik on my server, then to the internal service. Not internet dependent.
