    I’ve been thinking of setting one up for a while, if I have a home server would I be better off hosting it on that or as a separate device? What are the alternatives to a raspberry pi? They’ve shot up in price over the years.

      If you have a server running, I wouldn’t buy more hardware. They have good example documentation for just such a configuration:

      https://docs.pi-hole.net/docker/

      If your server already has those ports bound (specifically the DNS port 53) you are going to have to get creative; otherwise it’ll work well!

      Worst case, a cheapo pi 3 will do the job. At one point I had it running on a pi zero, so hardware requirements are pretty low.
