Hiya!

I have a Raspberry Pi 4B set up as a print server, so it has to run 24/7. But it irks me that it’s mostly idling.

I’d move my website to it, but I don’t want to deal with it being open to the internet. The same goes for an e-mail server.

I was also thinking of running a Minecraft server on it. (Being able to play on the same world from different devices is kinda cool.) Alas, my RPi only has 4 GiBs of RAM. I worry that such a load would interfere with the print server.

Any ideas what I could run on it?

      Can I please ask why you prefer Adguard over Pihole?

      The sd card in my raspberry 3b recently died, and my pihole with it. I am now using Adguard but not sure it’s working well for me, consider going back. What’s the winning argument for you?

        I find the interface feels more modern and interactive, I didn’t like how static PiHole felt with adding to a list then manually restarting Gravity.

        AGH has support for more list types, it has more features built-in, such as DNS over TLS so I can use it on my phone even when I’m not home.

        And personally I feel like its less buggy, I’ve never encountered a problem on AGH, whereas I did on PiHole.

          Interesting points, thank you.

          Today I wanted to block everything with facebook and Instagram, it looks like I am hand-editing a config file to do so. And it applies to the entire network; AGH has no concept of user groups. Am I missing something really obvious?

            That would be something you do within the Client Settings page. You can have custom settings that are separate from the Global Default.
