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 on LAN_INTERFACE before docker 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/dns is 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/dns config dir.
For native Authentik OIDC on this pilot, DNS_SERVER_SSO_ALLOW_SIGNUP must be true at least for the initial SSO user provisioning. Keeping DNS_SERVER_SSO_ALLOW_SIGNUP_ONLY_FOR_MAPPED_USERS=true preserves 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, and profile. Without them, Authentik will mint a token with no OpenID scopes and Technitium fails the /application/o/userinfo/ call with Scope mismatch / SSO authentication failed.
The authoritative zone home.paccoco.com is now hosted in Technitium with dns.home.paccoco.com -> 10.5.30.8.
Clients will resolve dns.home.paccoco.com only when they query Technitium directly, or after DHCP/cutover points them at Technitium.
bin/sync_backup_nodes.sh is the PD-side replication runner that pushes the live Technitium config to the Nomad (10.5.30.9) and Serenity (10.5.30.10) backup nodes, then recycles those backup stacks and verifies DNS answers.
Preferred automation model: root cron on PD every 15 minutes, logging to /mnt/tank/docker/appdata/technitium-pilot/logs/sync-backup-nodes.log.
