I’ve run Pi-hole in my homelab for years and benefited from using the service. As well as the hands-on education.

With that said, what is everyone else’s experience with the software? Do you use Pi-hole in your homelab setup? I would assume many hundreds of thousands of people use Pi-hole.

Edit #1:

The image attached to this post is my RPi 5, which hosts the Pi-hole software. Big supporter of the whole “SBCs for learning and home improvement” mentality.

Edit #2:

It is interesting to see the broad support for Pi-hole and DNS blockers in general. The more options, the healthier the tech ecosystem is, which benefits everyone.

    I use a separate nuc, and even still, rebooting the router is a non-trivial exercise. The internet was wired into the top shelf of a cupboard, so need a step ladder to get to it.

    Since getting a second pihole setup I haven’t had any issues, so I think I’m okay now. Hopefully it fails over the christmas break when I’m home :D
