DNS is complicated and takes some time to really absorb. Places like Cloudflare make things very straight forward. It's beat to think about what you want to accomplish, then start looking for guides on each of the individual pieces (authoritative server, master/slave replication, recursion, DNS over tls, dnssec, etc). Take it in baby steps and WRITE NOTES. The now taking will help you absorb the details and will leave you a paper trail of things when you get something running and then have to go deal with other life, then come back to it in a few months.
+1 for writing notes.
Many a time I've had to reverse engineer and relearn something I did months / years ago
