I waffled back and forth on a docker install. Outside of the initial panic to reinstall the OS (Ubuntu 24.04 for me), it was relatively straightforward outside of the config. It may be worth it to dockerize it so I can git control the config but not sure how easy it is under v6. They really changed how the files are parsed.
Before pihole was essentially a frontend for dnsmasq but it seems like it's a bit more than that now. I haven't had the chance to look too much under the hood.
If I'm being honest, I've wanted to off-load pihole to my router but lack the time and patience these days. I've reached the point in my life where IT isn't the most important thing anymore and just need it to work.
