Well after some planning and dutch courage I have closed down my Pi-Hole and Adguard Services. These have been replaced with x4 Technitium Virtual DNS Servers, which are clustered. Two are hosted on my proxmoxserver1 and two on proxmox server2. I have also linked these to my domain, so my network is now served by four dns servers. Lots of redundancy built in. My next step is to try load balance instance one and two. @Brandon Lee maybe a good video with setup, clustering and load balancing, as an addition to the clustering video you did previous. I rewatched it today, thats what inspired me.

@Brandon Lee came across EVEng today, well worth looking at and proabbly a great video.

I have created a template using cloud-init but the hard drive in the cloud init template is to small. I want to be able to increase the size of the cloud init drive so there is capacity for upgrsdes etc etc, how do I do this whilst creating the clound init image?

I captured some of the things I check here. Also, what kind of automation are you using for daily health sanity checks outside of monitoring tools?
