Another vote for Technitium DNS. I used PiHole then Adguard Home and Technitium is much better for me. I actually run two of them so I never have more than one down outside of power outages. One on my Pi and one on my server that runs my Docker containers for my other services.
I do the same, just waiting for that cluster feature to come out!
Check this out. I’ve been using it with 3 nodes for years and it works perfectly.

Yep, that’s how I’m doing mine too, just the full sync would be nice. If I need to temporarily disable ad blocking for example, currently I have to login to both. It’s the best dns tool I’ve used though, after PiHole for years and then Adguard for a short period until I found this.
My biggest issue with pihole is that you can’t really sync between multiple servers natively. Does technetium support this?
I know others pointed to it a way to partly do this, but I wanted to just say that I don't replicate mine on purpose at this point. The one running on my Pi updates automatically and the other one does not. That allows me to test new releases on one DNS without borking my whole setup. Then I update the other manually once I know the Pi is working fine.
