[Question] RaspPi5 with Pi-Hole, Tailscale and Traefik (lemmy.world)

Hi all,

I just got a Raspberry Pi 5 and I'm about to do my first setup, but it's a jungle to understand everything as a 'noob'.

My plan is to install the following:

Pi-hole
Tailscale
Traefik

I want to achieve DNS ad blocking and access to all my services on my laptop and phone.

Would these services achieve this? Do they work together? And am I missing something to make it work?

Sorry if this is plain stupid to ask, but I can't seem to find anything where all 3 is used together.

Thanks for also recommending docker! I've read about it, but I was not sure if it would be useful here.

I would go one further and recommend installing Portainer too. Install Docker, then find the code to install Portainer. Then you can log in to Portainer and use that to manage Docker.

I've tried to use Docker for a number of years (and succeeded!) but have recently used Portainer and found it so much easier.

I now install the Portainer client on every instance of Docker that I use and track them all through a single IP address on my lan.

I had read about Docker Compose but never followed it up. But now with Portainer I've come to realise that "Compose" is "Stacks" in Portainer. So now I can just open up my Portainer and copy/paste a compose into a stack and save it, and it fires up the programme for me.

If I want to replicate that program somewhere else I can either copy/paste my stack, or use the "replicate" function to just add it to another machine.

Thank you so much! I was just about to list up all my services to get the right architecture, and I've added Portainer to my list.

This is a get-started guide I found for Portainer if anyone else is interested.
