Which way did you set up an adblocking DNS with NixOS? Blocky?
I've got an old raspberry pi running pihole. But I've also got a tiny headless computer doing my routing which is using NixOS. (As of yet I'm too much of a novice to set up all the firewall rules myself, so I have OPNsense running in a VM...) It'd be nice if I could just obsolete the pi and unify all my stuff into the router for more frequent updates.
I'm using technitium DNS server which has module in NixOS.
It seems relatively well maintained and has what I need (web interface, one click set up etc.)
I'm still new to this stuff so I'm figuring it out as I test things out. I didn't want to buy a raspberry pi so I used an old libreboot thinkpad I had that I never used.
NixOS modules eliminate a lot of the jank involved which is why I use it, I've also used NixOS as a desktop in the past so it only makes sense.
