Pi-Hole Discussion Thread

pi hole can run even on 2012 Pi 1
No harm trying.

Anyways, pi hole don't need to be so powerful. I run a similar software on my rpi4 also i think overkill.

IMHO.
Thanks for the tip. I should have a Pi somewhere.......

No prob.

I was doing research on which PI to get before covid struck hence i remember some post about ppl still running pi hole on their ancient pi 1. I think there are still as recent as 2024 on reddit.

But likely there is a chance you won't be able to run newer version of pihole due to the dependencies... see luck bah
Maybe your old one is a Pi 3, if so then that would make things easier

I'm running mine on PI1, no issues at all and can do the updates. It's not a resource hog. I have 4.3 million domains on the blacklist.

I hope my PI is still somewhere around as I recently renovated....

A small Pi will do, preferably one with an Ethernet port. I'm using ethernet. At home, i have lots of devices connected to home network, lots of queries, hence need to be stable.

Since not resource hog, just fully utilise an old hardware to the max.

Actually old PI hardware still can have many uses. I have another PI1 lying around to do air pollutant (PM2.5 and PM10) sniffing, especially useful during the haze when I don't trust NEA data.

When I got my Pi, those are the stuffs I want to do but life got in the way.
Now need to rewind back.

Same here, something can be done in hours took weeks to complete. But eventually got it up running and forget.

one of the reasons why we need the Pi-Hole.

My computer reports grammarly keep sending these logs persistently. My vivo phone, sony tv, samsung smart tv also have been pinging these logs. Pi hole blocks it
