Comment on What are your opinions of using Pi-hole for DNS within a homelab environment?

  What I like about running a dedicated physical deployment of pihole (and only pihole) is better reliability, especially when using at for DNS. If a VM host has any issues, the network will lose DNS services. This is much more likely to occur the more layers and services you run on that host.

  A friend recently had this happen while they weren’t home and their family went mad as they lost useful internet access - some necessary for remote work.

    That’s fair, I do have a cluster and failover and so it’s not really a problem
