If this isn’t the right place to put it please let me know. I am in the process of re-imaging pc running Ubuntu server to help clean up services. Before I had Openvpn Access server running on the server as well as docker running Nextcloud, Jellyfin, and NGINX Proxy Manager.

Computer Specs :

- Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6500T CPU @ 2.50GHz
- 64gb DDr4 - 2133 MHz

I would like to run these services and currently am having difficulty with just docker.

DNS Server
- Internal DNS “Jellyfin.stull.local”
- External DNS “Jellyfin.thetinkeringnerd.com
  - Running Cloudflare to FQDM to NGINX Proxy Manager
Nextcloud
Jellyfin Server
Future Projects

Sure, reverse proxy is a web server whos job is to be in charge of ports 80 and 443 and decide to what other webservers send traffic based on request url

Can I have Internal and external DNS?

Probably, who knows what you really means. Split dns maybe?

Should I switch to running a bare-metal hypervisor?

If you need it. Seems your needs are met with just docker.

What should I use for a DNS Server?

dnsmasq works and I used it for a time, then I moved to having opnsense as my firewall and use its unbound service.
