Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

If I remember correctly that is best practise, no? It was something.local or *.intern for years, until TLDs could be whatever you wanted them to be.
.local is reserved for mDNS responses, don't use that.
It's more than best practice. Your active directory controllers want to be the resolvers for their members, separate from other zones such as external MX records or the like. Your AD domain should always be a separate zone, aka a subdomain. "ad.example.com".
If your DCs are controlling members at the top level, you'll eventually run into problems with Internet facing services and public NS records.
Also per below. You can't get commercially signed certificates for fake domains. Self hosting certificate authorities is a massive pain in the ass. Don't try unless you have a real need, like work-related learning.
Do not use made up domains for anything these days. It will make it a pain if you ever need a certificate for that domain that isn't self-signed.
