Thank you so much! I was just about to list up all my services to get the right architecture, and I’ve added Portainer to my list.

This is a get-started guide I found for Portainer if anyone else is interested.

Our man is hard flexing on us mortals right now.

The Pi-Hole is mostly for my phone. Can’t really block ads in apps with uBlock.

Laptop is mostly for remote access to my other services.

Thanks for also recommending docker! I’ve read about it, but I was not sure if it would be useful here.

Great rundown, thanks!

I don’t have a background in software, but I think I’m doing okay with my Raspberry Pi’s so far.

And I’m looking for more challenging stuff, so this was very helpful.

Just a question but do you use proxmox yourself? And if yes, what services would you recommend to run?

I would say it’s 100% load for maybe 3 minutes, so maybe it’s normal.

It makes my system overload so my PiHole stops processing.

But it sounds like maybe it’s normal and a background service using too much sometimes?

Omg I have CPU spikes on my Raspberry Pi. Maybe it’s infected too, and how would I ever find out?

Is there some software I can run to check?

It sounds very nice and clean to work with!

If I’m lucky enough to get the Raspberry 5 at Christmas, I will try to set it up with docker for all my services!

Thanks for the explanation.

As a guy who’s you before summer.

Can you explain why you think it is better now after you have ‘contained’ all your services? What advantages are there, that I can’t seem to figure out?

Please teach me Mr. OriginalLucifer from the land of MoistCatSweat.Com

Thanks, I’ll switch when I get my RaspPi5 for sure.

Can someone tell me the difference between Wireguard vs Wireguard Easy?

I already have Wireguard installed, so I just wanted to know if I should switch.

Thanks man!

I will try Volumio for sure! I also want to try home automation some time, but I don’t think I have enough hardware to run with it yet.

Actually need to know this. I haven’t heard about it myself, but maybe I missed it?

Right now I use it for:

• PiHole
• Plex/Jellyfin
• WireGuard VPN
• Sonarr/Radarr and all that follows.

I would consider giving it away to family for the same purpose. Thanks for the suggestion!

In my case I need the 5 for the extra power. It will exactly meet my demands, and the 4 ‘only’ does 90% of the time.

And if I could find something cool for the 4, I would buy the 5 immediately. But I think I need to know that I can use it for something. Otherwise I will feel bad buying the 5.
