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.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I've used both.
Pihole is fine for a standard replacement of DNS for record lookups with the ad blocking most ppl want. But pihole is just fancy dnsmasq, you can't manage much more DNS than A records. (That was 4 years ago, though, things might have changed).
Technitium is a real DNS server with all the things DNS I supposed to be able to do. I use it for the zone transfers.
Performance is better than pihole, too, but that may also have changed.
With my Pihole setup I currently use A records and CNAMES for my local DNS entries. What interests me with Technitium is that it supports DoH, DoT, and DoQ. Which I would like to see if I could implement.
I remember a while back looking into setting up DoH or DoT with Unbound on my Pihole box, but that didn't work well for me (likely a me issue.)
But I am constantly looking to improve my homelab setup.
