There are many DNS names options. Which one do you use?
You shouldn’t use .local for your manually defined local domain names if you plan to ever use mdns/avahi/bonjour/zeroconf.
There’s a draft rfc that defines “.home.arpa” as an internal. It looks stupid and totally misses the point, but works.
I use a subdomain of a domain name I own.
*.internal.domain.name
since ssl certs are easier to get when you’re using an owned domain name.I bought a .com for like $10 CAD from Cloudflare that uses a URL not linked to me.
Maybe overly paranoid, but it also makes it easy to get SSL certificates for my lab.
I use either .home or an actual domain that I own (makes it easy for https certs and not having to go out of the network and back in)
.home.lan for me.
server.home for my part
I use different ones. Got an legit dpmain which I also use locally (with ssl certificates) and in my local network my server listens to SERVI. Just SERVI.
hostname.vlan.local.lan
local.lan is the only fixed part of my fqdn’s
Idk is that wrong but I made up server name tride so .tride is my local domain
