Oh do I have a treat for you, check out [DNSWeaver](https://maxfield-allison.github.io/dnsweaver/). It's designed to do exactly that, to automate creation of DNS records for container services. I use it with Traefik. It reads from the same labels that Traefik already uses to proxy services but if you already use another reverse proxy and don't want to switch it supports dnsweaver-specific labels as well which are easy to add to your current deploys. I used it both with pihole and technitium and actually used it to make the migration easier. Great tool.

Good news is that I was playing around with DNSWeaver, and got it working with Pihole. However, this gives me incentive to move off from Pihole because DNSWeaver can't create TXT records for tracking which DNS records it creates so that it can clean up after itself. So now I am torn between Adguard Home and Technitium. I just wish I could find a guide for getting Technitium working to at least on par with what I have setup.

Oh my. I am so thankful you shared this! I will be reading up on this and testing it out likely. Currently I use Caddy. Which I eventually would like to automate Caddy with this: https://github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy Currently I build my own Caddy based off the official image with the cloudflare plugin
