I’m already hosting pihole, but i know there’s so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!
Edit: Thanks all! I’ve got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!
Not exactly a “life changing experience”, but using blocky instead of pihole or adguard. It’s basically “the same thing” but with way more customization features – and the “cherry on top” of setting it as user nobody instead of root or your current one.
Why would not link to official docker for blocky? Bit odd to recommend 17 pulls vs the 1 million+ one. Easier for people new to the software to get help if something is not working if they are using the same thing everyone else is using.
Here’s a link to the blocky docs with a little more explanation. The above link looks like it goes to the a docker image posted on the user’s profile… I think? ^I need to get more familiar with docker^
Can you provide more details as to why id want this over pihole? I’ve had a container on my interior server with pihole without issues for years. Should I change?

So how does an average joe use your link and set that up? I have no clue.

Yes its an image from a random account, not blocky.
…I don’t think you need to be a pro to… you know… read a bit. :^)

Compared to pihole, it doesn’t need any dependencies and is an “all-in-one” solution like AdGuardHome. It’s also open-source and very simple to set it up – all you need is only one configuration file.
Then again, if you aren’t having any issues with pihole, then by all means continue as is.
