  • I am totally in line with not agreeing with everything being a subscription. And I absolutely dont agree with subscription creep.

    So I minimize what I pay for. And let me say, in no means am I defending the change in Bitwarden here. I would never.

    It isn't a realistic expectation to expect any hosted service to be free. Especially in capitalism. Someone will come along and fuck with pricing.

    Not everyone has the time, knowledge, or finances to fund self hosting everything.

    But to automatically assume everyone is a sheep for using a service that benefits them is a bit of a jump.

    Yes, I myself value privacy, security, and the merits of self hosting as much as I can with my resources. And I have had conversations with people on these topics, and there are the folk that lack the understanding of the importance of the hill many of the folk like me stand on. So I have seen the wide spectrum of people who pay for services.

    Wild take dude.

  • Indeed, I'd agree, it is the way I do it

  • Thank you! A start was what I was looking for!

  • Good news is that I was playing around with DNSWeaver, and got it working with Pihole. However, this gives me incentive to move off from Pihole because DNSWeaver can't create TXT records for tracking which DNS records it creates so that it can clean up after itself.

    So now I am torn between Adguard Home and Technitium. I just wish I could find a guide for getting Technitium working to at least on par with what I have setup.

  • Again, thank you for your suggestions! I am contemplating switching to Adguard or Technitium from pihole. Just gotta figure out how I am gonna approach it

  • Oh my. I am so thankful you shared this! I will be reading up on this and testing it out likely.

    Currently I use Caddy. Which I eventually would like to automate Caddy with this: https://github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy

    Currently I build my own Caddy based off the official image with the cloudflare plugin

  • I may give this a shot and see how I like it. However, I am struggling with my systemd-resolvd service not wanting to disable.

  • That's good to hear!

    One feature I wish I could find was automatic DNS record creation for new docker containers I spawn.

    Can't wait to check out Technitium.

  • Pihole + unbound on the same box as my DNS has been super simple for me. I didnt do a lot of extra configuration for Unbound, I used mostly the guide that was on Pihole official documentation.

    As for reverse proxy, I have Caddy setup. And to access my homelab I use wireguard.

    Most of my services run on a separate box running docker.

    I've woven most of it together bit by bit. I'm slowly upgrading different pieces and its lead me down a rabbit hole. So I found this post intriguing.

    Biggest hurdle with Technitium for me is the lack of documentation. I can say the compose file they provided has lots of comments. That doesn't solve for a few pieces for me though. Systemd-resolv uses port 53 on my host box, and I have to find out the ramifications for disabling that and using Technitium. That and I am unsure of what extra capabilities I have to grant that container. And I have to find out how adding it to my reverse proxy docker network.

    So its gonna be trial and error I suppose! I'm looking forward to getting DoT or DoH or DoQ setup.

  • Thank you for sharing the link to your previous post. Will definitely read up on that!

    I think I will skip Adguard just due to not wanting a license.

    I do wish they had more documentation on this stuff for Technitium.

    Though it does seem like a cool product.

  • Perfect! I saw there were addons once I spun up a quick docker container for it. Though, I feel I may have a bit of configuring to do to get this working. My host server uses systemd-resolv so I may have to wrestle with that.

    Thank you!

  • Sounds like I am going to dig into some documentation for Technitium.

    When you mention the "Advanced Blocking App" can you provide a link that for more info by chance?

    I had zero plans of running both, more of a situation where I would want to try Technitium and then switch once I know everything is working!

    Thank you for the info!

  • With my Pihole setup I currently use A records and CNAMES for my local DNS entries. What interests me with Technitium is that it supports DoH, DoT, and DoQ. Which I would like to see if I could implement.

    I remember a while back looking into setting up DoH or DoT with Unbound on my Pihole box, but that didn't work well for me (likely a me issue.)

    But I am constantly looking to improve my homelab setup.

  • Has anyone used this and Pihole and have some thoughts on which they would use and why?

    Currently using Pihole myself. For adblocking, and a local DNS server. I also have Unbound configured and installed which my Pihole uses.

    Anyone have any insight on this before I work on spinning something like this up?

  • Symfonium is great. I use that over Tempo for physical phone because of Android Auto support.

    Desktop and laptop wise I can't find another player that I quite like.

  • I tried to like Strawberry. I really did. Its not awful but its not great...

    The UI leaves a lot to be desired. It wasn't great at scraping metadata.

    Ultimately it feels clunky and dated.

    Ultimately I settled in Navidrome with Feishin.
