Hi all,

I just got a Raspberry Pi 5 and I’m about to do my first setup, but it’s a jungle to understand everything as a ‘noob’.

My plan is to install the following:

  • Pi-hole
  • Tailscale
  • Traefik

I want to achieve DNS ad blocking and access to all my services on my laptop and phone.

Would these services achieve this? Do they work together? And am I missing something to make it work?

Sorry if this is plain stupid to ask, but I can’t seem to find anything where all 3 is used together.

    Docker as mentioned above is great especially if you’re going down the homelab rabbit hole. You’ll find it really useful to get familiar with for future projects.

    Another alternative is to install DietPi. It’s an operating system for a raspberry pi. It has all these programs you mentioned with install scripts including docker and installing (and updating) is as easy as checking a box. Also has a pretty good community in case you run into an edge case.

    They aren’t mutually exclusive. They work together. I recommend zerotier over tailscale (I forgot why tailscale was bad for me, sorry)
