Technitium backup on N.O.M.A.D.
Backup Technitium DNS node cloned from the PD pilot for Nomad.
- Repo stack path:
/home/fizzlepoof/repos/truenas-stacks/technitium-nomad - Live stack path:
/opt/technitium-nomad - Bind IP:
10.5.30.9 - DNS ports:
53/tcp,53/udp - Web console:
http://10.5.30.9/ - Bootstrap domain if reset from empty config:
technitium-nomad.home.paccoco.com
This backup node is intended to replace Pi-hole fallback in DHCP resolver lists once validated. It reuses the PD Technitium config as the initial authoritative baseline.
Current mirrored baseline from Pi-hole:
- blocklists:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hostshttps://big.oisd.nl
- no custom local DNS entries detected
- no conditional forwarding detected
- no extra dnsmasq fragments detected
Pilot-specific adaptation:
- Production Pi-hole forwards to PD-local Unbound on
127.0.0.1:5335. - Because the Technitium pilot uses a dedicated macvlan IP, that loopback-only upstream is not reachable from the pilot without changing production Unbound.
- For pilot safety, Technitium is seeded as a standalone recursive resolver instead of reconfiguring production Unbound.
Notes:
-
The stack binds only to
TECHNITIUM_BIND_IP, so PD must have that secondary address present onLAN_INTERFACEbeforedocker compose up. -
The helper script adds the pilot IP alias read/write on the live host for the current boot only. That is deliberate for pilot safety.
-
Technitium reads the environment initialization only on first boot when
/etc/dnsis empty. If you need to re-seed initial settings, stop the container and clear the config directory first. -
SSO-capable deployments should set the
DNS_SERVER_SSO_*variables. Keep a known local admin account as rollback because Technitium may only apply initial auth/env seeding cleanly on first boot or with an empty/etc/dnsconfig dir. -
For native Authentik OIDC on this pilot,
DNS_SERVER_SSO_ALLOW_SIGNUPmust betrueat least for the initial SSO user provisioning. KeepingDNS_SERVER_SSO_ALLOW_SIGNUP_ONLY_FOR_MAPPED_USERS=truepreserves the gate so only users in mapped Authentik groups can auto-provision. -
Authentik native OIDC callback for Technitium is
https://dns.paccoco.com/sso/callback. -
For Authentik native OIDC, the Technitium OAuth2 provider must have the default OpenID scope mappings attached:
openid,email, andprofile. Without them, Authentik will mint a token with no OpenID scopes and Technitium fails the/application/o/userinfo/call withScope mismatch/SSO authentication failed. -
The authoritative zone
home.paccoco.comis now hosted in Technitium withdns.home.paccoco.com -> 10.5.30.8. -
Clients will resolve
dns.home.paccoco.comonly when they query Technitium directly, or after DHCP/cutover points them at Technitium. -

Operational note: this node starts from a cloned Technitium config copied from PD; future record changes on PD must be resynced here until replication automation exists.
