So I was interested in deploying a pi-hole on my network with a Raspberry Pi.
Being Australian, the cost of the Raspberry Pi was retarded, so I figured I would be better off virtualising it. I've got a pi-hole instance running on a virtual machine on my media server. Headless Debian combined with the pi-hole script and utilities.
Now, this option is significantly less effective than running uBlock Origin. What it does do is provide ad-blocking for my mobile devices and and Xbox, stopping all kinds of bullshit on my network.
So two things /g/:
1. Anyone interested in a quick walk through on how to spin up one of these instances?
2. Anyone got any suggestions for any other cool/useful stuff I could spin up on my network?
Wouldn't it be more efficient to use it as a firewall after your router and to set up caching for faster browsing?

Just read you don't have the Pi lol

I suppose it could be.
I'm on a 120mbps pipe, so I've never been short on speed or bandwidth.
Any suggestions on how best to approach your idea?

Does make me a bit of a sad panda. Not exactly short on hardware though. Will get a three in as soon as is possible.

What is your media server setup?

I've got Sonarr feeding into NZBGet. Sonarr then grabs the file and sorts it into my drives file system. It then sends a command to update Plex which I use to pull content to my TV.
I go direct to file for watching on my PCs though.
Works pretty good.

If you don't have a Pi, why use Pi-hole?
Surely there are native solutions that don't require virtualizing.
