Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Old computer, or Raspberry pi with proxmox and pfsense on it. The positive thing is that you can run other servers as well (pi-hole for example for network wide blocking ads)
I've been relying on pfSense for around a decade.
If you're using pfSense anyway, pfBlockerNG provides the same AD related DNS sinkhole functionality of pi-hole without the need for a whole separate machine/VM to manage.
You could also use OpnSense and install AdGuard Home on that.
I'm guessing I would need to get a modem too then, no? I've got the BT router that takes the DSL connection directly currently
You should check if you can put your BT router in bridge mode.
This is typically how we used to configure these kinds of setups. This should allow the router you place incide the BT router to get your "outside" IP.
I don't know if BT has any limitations on this, though, but it has worked with all ISP's where I am located.
