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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Depends, do you have pihole/unbound setup to only recursively resolve? Or do you forward requests to an upstream (either as a fallback or just as a primary). If that's the case, and depending on your threat model, you'll want to set up DoH or DoT as your DNS requests will be forwarded in plaintext

Fortunately I set up unbound ages ago, and disabled every other upstream option in my pi.hole. However, I imagine that still "leaks" some information about my DNS queries, just indirectly -- it's not like my pi.hole has every domain mapped all the time!
