Why are you having to update your DNS records when you add a new service? Just set up a wildcard A record to send *.myserver.com to the reverse proxy and you never have to touch it again. If your DNS doesn't let you set wildcard A records, then switch to a better DNS.

    Not OP but a lot of people probably use pi-hole which doesn't support wildcards for some inane reason

    That's my case. I send every new subdomain to my nginx IP on pi-hole and then use nginx as a reverse proxy

    That was my exact setup as well until I switched to a different router which supported both custom DNS entries and blocklists, thereby making the pi-hole redundant

    I run opnsense, so I need to dump pi-hole. But I don't have the energy right now to do that.

    Pi-Hole was pretty straightforward at the time and I did not look back since then. Annoying, but easy.

    I use a MikroTik Router and while I do love the amount of power it gives me, I very quickly realized that I jumped in at the deep end. Deeper than I can deal with unfortunately.

    I did get everything running after a week or so but I absolutely had to fight the router to do so.

    Sometimes less is more I guess

    It does support it, you just have to add it to dnsmasq. I have it Setup under misc.dnsmasq_lines like so:

    address=/proxy.example.com/192.0.0.100
local=/proxy.example.com/

    Then I have my proxied service reachable under service.proxy.example.com

    I switched to Technitium and I've been pretty happy. Seems very robust, and as a bonus was easy to use it to stop DNS leaks (each upstream has a static route through a different Mullvad VPN, and since they're queried in parallel, a VPN connection can go down without losing any DNS...maybe this is how pihole would have handled it too though).

    And of course, wildcards supported no problem.
