I have an asus router with a pi-hole on the network.
I was doing some work on my server and noticed that when pi-hole was down, I couldn’t access the internet. I was looking for some ideas online how to deal with this, but they said to have a second pihole on the network in case one is offline. Is that the only way to do it? Is there any way to have the network go back to normal if the pihole is offline?
Not sure if this is common knowledge but Pi-hole can also run in a docker container, it doesn’t have to be a raspberry pi. I have it running on portainer on two different machine in my house. I’m a systems architect by trade so there no kill like overkill 😅
You might be a nerd when you have to schedule maintenance at your own house.
one a VM, the other a container, with different upstream targets.
I have to schedule maintenance when everyone is asleep or out of the house.
I’ll swear one day I’ll have a proper (raspberry pi) cluster with KVM, I just need to finish implementing the other million things I find when I research it.
I totally feel you. I’m in IT and design these incredibly robust systems. But I don’t have that budget for my house and they say “the cobbler’s children have no shoes."
