Comment on Hardware Suggestions For A Beginner?

I would recommend putting the pihole and any network management tools on dedicated hardware.

It’s not fun having a random update for Transmission take down your entire internet. Ask me how I know.

Run two PiHoles. This way you can take one down for maintenance and the other keeps working.

  So one pihole would be on the router, while the other runs on another piece of dedicated hardware?

    Usually you can’t run PiHole on a router directly; you’d have two PiHoles (maybe dedicated; maybe sharing resources)

I actually plan on putting hardware related stuff on an extra pi since I only run a single proxmox node right now. Would be home assistant and nut tools for the ups but I might put pihole and unbound on that as well.

I am worried about the performance though because of home assistant. And it is pretty comfortable to have everything on one host that is far from being used to capacity anyway.
