Add Blocking: Gargoyle, ESXi, DietPi, Pi-Hole

Post by charlesmouse »

I suspect for the properly network savvy nothing I'm about to say will be news, I'm certainly no expert myself. But maybe my posting a how-to would be useful?

The kind of things I'm considering:
1) Home server running ESXi:
-Why?
-How?
-Other VM options...
2) DietPi:
-What is it and why?
-No, it's not just for the Raspberry Pi
-Installing to a VM
3) Pi-Hole:
-What's it for?
-Installing to DietPi
-Suggested tweaks and additions
-Here's a ready-to-go ESXi VM install if you prefer
4) Gargoyle:
-Setting your router to use Pi-Hole

I'm happy to get in to the weeds for a rather lengthy 'how to' but maybe that's too much? The obvious alternate might be:
-Here's my Pi-Hole VM
-It's up to you to trust me, or not
-Set this in Gargoyle to get it to work
...and leave it at that.

Thoughts?

Maybe nobody knows the answer?

If you do some tests please share your results, it will be interesting.
