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.

Pihole it of course can do. I wouldn't especially recommend doing much of anything else with the pi you use for your DNS. Reason being that you don't want your internet to start lagging because the pi is being overloaded by something else. I know if I disconnect my pihole the impact on internet speed is significant.
Servings up files should be fine (but check USB and ethernet speed), I wouldn't use a pi as my goto for streaming media though (that said I haven't tried it). I'd be skeptical about federated services as the amount of traffic and therefore processing can increase a lot once you connect to more instances so you could find it works fine for the first days but then gets more and more overloaded. Turn off federation and it would run fine but then what's the point? But I've only tried hosting lemmy, I don't know how others compare.
For sure. My old pi v2 became a PiHole when I moved on to later versions and it's just been quietly doing it's thing for ... I don't know, 6 years now?
Would it be better to get a Pi Zero for Pi Hole instead if that's the case? Thanks a ton for the info!
