Hey yall, I want to get into self-hosting. I want to start from hosting on a raspberry pi, and I am just wondering if yall have any recommendations (I’ve never hosted anything before, but have experience in linux and programming). Sorry if it’s bit of a stupid question.

    Pihole is easy and light enough. I used to host Transmission (transmission-daemon) on a 3B+ and it worked alright for seeding around 300-500 torrents. FreshRSS also worked alongside.

      Pihole my is choice too. It’s pretty good, but for some reason video ads still get through even off YouTube? Is it possible to block them?

          You are not wrong, but uBlock needs to be installed on each device and only works on the browser, while pihole blocks adds across the whole network for all devices.

          I have pihole but still use ublock on my personal computer

        You can’t do that with Pihole as the ads come from the same domains, and basically need a browser extension or an app with a built in equivalent.

        If you’re in the UK though, it does block the ads on All4 which was a nice surprise. It even works for the TV app.

        YouTube ads don’t come from a separate server. They come in the same way as the video. They pretty much need to be filtered out at the player end (e.g. browser plugins).

        Pihole blocks ad domains. YouTube ads are still from youtube.com, so you have to block them on the browser level with something like Ublock Origin
