#pihole

13 posts11 participants0 posts today

Weil ich schon seit Ewigkeiten einen uralten RasPi (Modell 1B!) nutzlos herumliegen hatte, hab ich mir am Wochenende mal das #PiHole Projekt genauer angeschaut. Installation war super einfach, Stromversorgung über den USB-Ausgang des Routers funktioniert zum Glück auch einwandfrei.

Leider muss ich momentan an den Clients den PiHole manuell als DNS-Adresse eintragen. Eine saubere Lösung wäre das direkt über den Router zu machen und dort schon den PiHole als DNS einzutragen. Aber leider macht da mein Router nicht mit.

@Mawoka 2 proxmox hosts, clustered. Most docker workloads are installed in 1 VM that I live migrate to the other host when updating proxmox. These services are not that critical, so no biggy if they're unavailable for a few minutes while I upgrade them or the VM they're running on.

DNS is the big exception. This is handled by 2 LXC containers, one on each proxmox host. I installed unbound and pihole on each LXC. The configuration is synced from the main node to the backup node through nebula-sync. HA between these LXC's is handled by keepalived, so they share a floating IP that is reassigned to the other node when the main node goes down. Downtime is maximum 1 second.

Another exception is my samba4 active directory. The primary DC runs on the VM in proxmox and I have a second (very small) VM on my NAS that runs the backup DC.

So DNS and Active Directory have higher availability, the rest not so much. #selfhosted #proxmox #pihole #samba #homelab

Könnte es daran liegen, dass dein #wlancall / #wificall mit #vodafone und #pihole nicht funzt?

"DNS is important !

Currently Vodafone Germany allows WiFi Calling for their German customers only from Germany, but they do not check the phone’s public IP to decide where it comes from. Instead they use the IP address the DNS query comes from.

This has the consequence that the DNS server you use must have a geolocation IP from Germany.

As of my knowledge these DNS servers do not work:

Google’s public DNS-resolver (8.8.8.8 + 8.8.4.4)
…"

#pihole hat ausgerechnet den Google DNS als Standard drin 🤦🏻‍♂️ Vielleicht können Dich meine DNS Antwortzeiten-Messwerte etwas inspirieren (zuhause bin ich auch Vodafone Kunde) - Achtung: zum vergleichen werden auch #privacy missachtende DNS mitgemessen!

Steffen Clausjuergens' Blog · Vodafone WiFi Calling in Germany for adminsVodafone’s “Wifi Calling” (sometimes named “WLAN Calling”) technical documentation is very poor, so I’ll try to summarize some points I learned.

i’ve been using #RaspberryPi headlessly for years to block adverts in my home network using #PiHole. I would SSH in and do whatever I needed to and it was only when I upgraded to a Pi 4b this’s week and connected it to a monitor that I realised it had an operating system with a GUI running in it the whole time. I assumed it was command line only. I’ve fallen in love with it, it’s very cute 🥰
