I wouldn't bother buying a raspberry pi 5 to run this shit though, as the article suggests. It's way overkill.
Just run the docker on another server you're running anyway, or run it on a raspberry pi zero 2W for $15. A pihole does so little work, it doesn't benefit from a pi 5.
I just run it on a VPS that costs me 3€ per month and runs lots of other stuff too like an IRC bouncer. That way I can access it from everywhere.

- wkat4242 1y agoIt's not worth the support trouble for the little it would make. Adblockers often break legit things too. Often people still want to use links that go through tradedoubler and the like. One support call and your yearly profit is wasted. And how do you block access to non paying customers? DNS isn't autenticated. It's also not really a great method for adblocking anymore (which would make the support problem worse, "why am I still seeing ads?")

But I meant it more as in 'check this shit out' :) Pihole is actually a really nice project even though it's just a wrapper around dnsmasq.
