I run two Pi 3b Pi Hole hosts as primary and secondary DNS servers at the house. They've been a fantastic addition to our network and have been running forever. I only have to switch out the micro SD cards every few years.

I just have it running as a docker container on a mini PC and I also have tailscale running on it. That way, I can set the Tailscale default DNS to the PiHole's IP and have ad blocking on my phone even when I leave the house. Truly incredible.

Mines running on an OG pi for I have no idea how many years, I've never changed the SD card ( hopefully haven't jinxed myself 🤞😅)

I only replace the SD's now because one of the OG 8gb cards croaked a long time ago. I guess I could save myself a few bucks and let them run to their logical conclusion. I mean, it's not like it's a tough setup from scratch. 😁
