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 PiHole and have switched to Technitium. Basically there's vastly more options available. A lot of DNS records and zones that simply isn't available with PiHole.
Also much better support for more advanced protocols (DoH, DoT, ...).
But to get the best out of it you do need to use the "Advanced Blocking app", which is a sort of a plugin. And it doesn't always play nice with defaults in terms of blockint.
It's best if one uses one or another, also because of how temporary disabling works.
Sounds like I am going to dig into some documentation for Technitium.
When you mention the "Advanced Blocking App" can you provide a link that for more info by chance?
I had zero plans of running both, more of a situation where I would want to try Technitium and then switch once I know everything is working!
Thank you for the info!
It's an addon that you enable/install inside Technitium, you only need to configure it in the Admin ui.
Perfect! I saw there were addons once I spun up a quick docker container for it. Though, I feel I may have a bit of configuring to do to get this working. My host server uses systemd-resolv so I may have to wrestle with that.
Thank you!
