Oh my. That Linux Upskill Challenge resource is right up my alley. Thank you for sharing.

What are your opinions of using Pi-hole for DNS within a homelab environment? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

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.

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.

Agreed. DNS filtering is an important tool for safety, privacy and general well-being.

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.
