A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Hey guys, I recently bought an orange pi zero 2 and, as the title suggests, I want to put an ad blocker on it. Those are the options. I also will put openvpn for external connection to my network. Does anyone have experience with them? What would you suggest?

+1 to AdguardHome. Set it up on a Synology NAS via docker following some written guides found online. Been rock solid for years.

I may try this (again). I find that even with DNS level blocking, I still end up using Adguard for Windows and Android, because it removes whitespaces left behind by DNS blockers. Do you also find this to be the case?

I do find that to be the case. Also some ADs just can’t seem to get filtered by DNS blockers…. DNS blocker still helps for devices that can’t have their own AD blocker though.

Yes! I actually use Adguard DNS (public) on my TV/game console to cut down on some ads.
