That's kind of awesome! I have a bunch of home lab stuff, but have been putting off buying a domain (I was a broke college student when I started my lab and half the point was avoiding recurring costs- plus I already run the DNS, as far as the WAN is concerned, I have whatever domain I want). My loose plan was to stand up a certificate authority and push the root public key out with active directory, but being able to certify things against Let's Encrypt might make things significantly easier.

I use a domain, but for homelab I eventually switched to my own internal CA.
Instead of having to do
service.domain.tld
it's nice to doservice.lan

.Any good instructions you would recommend for doing this?

use the official home.arpa as specified in RFC 8375

No thanks. I get some people agreed to this, but I'm going to continue to use
.lan
, like so many others. If they ever register.lan
for public use, there will be a lot of people pissed off.IMO, the only reason not to assign a top-level domain in the RFC is so that some company can make money on it. The authors were from Cisco and Nominum, a DNS company purchased by Akamai, but that doesnt appear to be the reason why.
.home
and.homenet
were proposed, but this is from the mailing list:- we cannot be sure that using .home is consistent with the existing (ab)use
- ICANN is in receipt of about a dozen applications for ".home", and some of those applicants no doubt have deeper pockets than the IETF does should they decide to litigate
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/homenet/PWl6CANKKAeeMs1kgBP5YPtiCWg/
So, corporate fear.

?I'm not sure I follow the question. All of the TLD
*.arpa
is not reserved for private use, only*.home.arpa
. So all your internal services are required to be a sub domain. -

Now that I’m moving goalposts, why not use
.home.arpa
subdomains? -
