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 RPi 5 running docker for: Pi-Hole, Jellyfin, Home Assistant, Heimdall. Works great, and there’s still capacity left to add more services.

      It’s amazing what you can do with modern computers. The number of services you are running on that RPi 5 is impressive.

      Hadn’t heard of Heimdall until you mentioned it. That looks like a fun tool to use.

        If you’re looking for a dashboard, there are quite a few of them. I use Homarr, but there is:

        • Homer
        • HomePage
        • Dashy
        • dashdot
        • Starbase-80

          I have tried Dashy and enjoyed having a dashboard.

          Out of those mentioned, Heimdall looks like the top contender. I need to ponder if a dashboard is a good move.
