DHCP and DNS for selfhosted instances

I got tired manually maintaining IP address table in spreadsheet for
every new virtual machine/container I deploy on Proxmox, then
adjusting ssh config file for the same on my laptop... What is
recommended way to handle new instances registration on network, my
understanding it should be done via DHCP, then configure DHCP to alert
DNS to create necessary records (A and/or PTR?), then to make sure my
laptop is using the same DNS server?... Did I got this correctly? What
is recommended DHCP+DNS setup for selfhosted/homelab?...

Technitium if you prefer an integrated solution with GUI

Thank you for showing me the path. I understood what makes this topic
confusing and difficult is that DDNS in most cases refer to public DNS
updates from ISP dynamic address changes on gateway. I also needs to
take into account my landscape complexity: win10 samba DC which for
some reason does not update samba builtin DNS resolver with joined
workstations, bunch of Ubuntu/Debian VMs with dockers which gets IP
address from VyOs DHCP, PiHole as DNS server...

any reason NOT to consider offloading DHCP service from router or
pihole (in some cases) to dedicated virtual machine running Kea?

Another vote for Technitium.

If only they would finally add a darkmode to the UI, fuck...

I installed Kea and BIND9 and Stork, but I fail to list dhcp leases
(clients) in Stork.  What am I missing?

You need to setup TSIG on both.
