merci3Just wanted to show off the lowest end hardware I ever ran Linux on
LoudWaterHombreI run a rpi zero w first gen
DaveI ran it on an original Raspberry Pi B which has the same RAM and a slower CPU than the original Zero! It was still in use as a Pi-hole (running the DietPi OS) until recently where it seems to be dying or not keeping up.
Thanks for suggesting DietPi! I never heard of it but it sounds just like what my ZeroW needs
(Also runs PiHole)
No problem! I’ve used it for years, though my home assistant running on a Raspberry Pi 4 is now doing the pi-hole thing with adguard instead as the original one was having issues. Though you get weird DNS quirks when the machine running DNS also relies on the internet.
Plus that time I did a dumb thing in home assistant to see what would happen, and it brought the internet down.
So I am keen to get another Pi. I highly recommend keeping it on a dedicated device you never touch except for updates!
