Does anyone know of a version of, or way to run, Pi-Hole on TrueNAS Core? That's what my home NAS runs, and while its list of "appliances" is quite long, it doesn't contain any network ad-blockers, AFAICS.
I am not bothered on the TV. I bought a ~15YO Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ80E, a huge plasma thing that is almost totally dumb. It cost me £/$ 60 a year ago, and it's great. It talks to a cable TV box and an elderly Mac mini for playing videos. Works a treat, costs very little, and zero online advertising.
I have got Kodi on it and our phones for a "ten foot UI", but using macOS is easy enough that we never need it.
- sofixa 4y agoThe easier route would be to run AdGuard Home since it's a single Golang binary therefore quite easy to compile and run in a jail by yourself.
- zomg 4y agoyou can run pi-hole in a docker container on truenas.
- lproven 4y agoInteresting. Do you have any pointers to how to do that? TrueNAS Core is a FreeBSD distro. Docker is a Linux tool. That implies to me I'd need a Linux distro in a VM, then Docker on that, then more config on top. Which sounds hard. Which is why people run this stuff on dedicated small cheap computers. I predicted containers were the next big thing 3 years before Docker was founded, but I do not run containers on production servers. My job is writing about this stuff, not running servers. :-) I write about it because I used to run servers in production for a living, and I didn't like doing it. I prefer writing.
- CoolCold 4y agoTrueNAS Scale is Linux based
- lproven 4y agoIt is indeed, but I am not running it. :-) I am not inclined to remove a tool that's working pretty well and replace it with something entirely different just to get access to this one small function. I think that's reasonable, isn't it? I mean, even if I did, I think Scale is likely to be less efficient on my servers, maxed out at 8GB RAM, and there still isn't a plug-in for PiHole for Scale, is there?
