I’ve been aware of pi-hole for a while now, but never bothered with it because I do most web browsing on a laptop where browser extensions like uBlock origin are good enough. However, with multiple streaming services starting to insert adds into my paid subscriptions, I’m looking to upgrade to a network blocker that will also cover the apps on my smart TV.
I run most of my self hosted services on a proxmox server, so I’d like something that’ll run as an LXC container or a VM. I’m also vaguely aware that various competing applications have come out since pi-hole first gained popularity. Is pi-hole still the best thing going, or are there better options?
I have the LCARS theme for my HomeAssistant, which takes telemetry from PiHole.
OOh which theme are you using? I keep forgetting to set that up. I remember looking into it and it was more involved for the time I was looking at it.
The complicated one, ha-lcars. It takes a while to get things looking good - looks like total trash out of the box, actually.
Could you share a screenshot of your final result?
I’ve only got one interface done at the moment:
Oh yeah, that looks much better than any of the included themes. Nice work!
I enjoy that it reminds me of a Star Trek console.
Probably by design but all the same.
Now we just need a locally hosted voice assistant with “computer” as the wake word.
That is completely possible right now.
