Ya from my research raspberry pi is powerful enough to act as a DNS server for a home. I probs wouldn’t put a 4k plex library on it but it should do the job.
In my case however I’m not running a raspberry pi. I have installed PiOS into Windows using WSL (like a lunatic) in an effort to not reformat my whole server computer and install something more practical (like Ubuntu server).
Just fyi you can install pihole on a barebones Debian system too. Mine is running in a Debian 11 vm on my threadeipper proxmox hypervisor. Only gave it 2 cores and 2gb ram and it’s basically transparent to my devices, performance wise. DNS is very light.
I'm running a bare metal esxi server and one of the containers is running my pie hole and it is relatively Rock solid.
I think the original poster should probably just set a Cron job to reboot the pihole every 3 days or so at like 3:00 in the morning and that would solve the problem.
That’s a decent idea for a workaround but I think I found my issue and have set my static IP address for my server to be outside my DHCP range. Here’s hoping it works. I’ll know in 90 days haha.
