Raspberry Pi

More context

Right now, Raspberry Pi buzz is centered on practical “living room” builds: a 24/7 server using a Raspberry Pi 5 16GB, plus creative real-time projects like ADS-B aircraft projection mapping onto ceilings and local voice assistants. A separate strong thread focuses on Pi-based security/privacy and home-server tooling, including an encrypted DIY security camera and installing Pi-hole.

Common questions on Raspberry Pi, surfaced from across the indexed web.

Which Pi-hole Install Method Should You Use?

The decision really comes down to two things: what hardware you already have running, and whether you want to run Pi-hole as a dedicated service or alongside other containers. Use the native install (Raspberry Pi, Ubuntu, or Proxmox LXC) if: You want a dedicated Pi-hole instance with minimal other services running on it You’re running Pi-hole on a Raspberry Pi or any Debian-based Linux distribution You’re running it in a Proxmox LXC and don’t need Docker on top You want the simplest, most-supported setup with the least amount of moving parts Use the Docker install if: You already use Docker

Should You Update Pi-hole?

Most people should keep Pi-hole reasonably current. Security patches matter for anything that handles network traffic, and the Pi-hole team is good about not breaking things in updates. That said, “update immediately when a new version drops” isn’t always the right call either. If everything is working, there’s no specific feature you need, and you don’t have time to deal with potential issues, waiting a few weeks to let any release issues surface in the community is reasonable. The Pi-hole subreddit and forums usually surface bugs quickly.
