A simple tutorial on a private DNS server setup with Caddy and AdGuard Home

Made this tutorial just now, maybe it helps someone. It's a pretty nice way to not use NextDNS.

Did something happen with NextDNS? Last I heard they were pretty good among the non-selfhosted bunch.
- They’re not selfhosted, and are commercial. While they’re okay now they can rug pull at any moment, it’s nice to have alternatives ¯(ツ)/¯
Is this different than pihole?
- Similar service, just with more built-in features than pihole, namely supporting DoH/DoT.

Interesting way of using agh. I use some small VPS just for it and there is no need for caddy, agh is able to run 443 on its own. Now I am thinking of test it because I have to recreate the certs manually. I thought it's because of the wildcard certs I use for DoT and DoQ. Maybe caddy can handle this, too.
ELI 5 Next DNS ?
