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.

I tried running unbound + PiHole however, my experience was less than ideal.
I was able to forward all DNS queries without issues however, PiHole wasn’t receiving response times from unbound which caused some of my other docker containers to bug out with timeout errors.
PiHole makes monitoring the network convenient which is kinda why I don’t wanna lose it, unbound doesn’t appear to have a web-ui natively.
Ive been using it with opnsense and it has a lot of built in logging and reporting. Maybe not as pretty as pihole but it works great
Never did a lot of research into opnsense, from what I can see it’s a whole OS. I might consider it because I feel Proxmox (which I use currently for my host OS) isn’t getting utilized to its fullest.
Maybe I’ll go network monitoring instead of virtual environment spin-ups 🤔
Why not both
Huh, while I was typing this comment I decided to read the minimum hardware requirements and turns out I only need to reserve 2 cores for the vm.
While I’m not exactly hosting proxmox on server grade hardware, I think I can spare 2 maybe 3 cores, 4 is a bit of a stretch I think given that 6 are already reserved for my headless Debian 12 vm + Docker engine.
