RPi-Jukebox-RFID VS AdGuardHome

I casually accumulated parts to build a Phoniebox over the last year but neglected to keep up with the project page to see that libspotify was shut down. I have a Pi Zero W and MiniAmp hat, speakers, RC522 board, pretty much everything except some nice arcade buttons, but I pivoted to an ESPHome-based project with an ESP8266 and RC522 getting pulled into Home Assistant as an entity. That's as far as I got with it, now I'm taking a step back. I'm open to anything as long as it lets my kid tap an NFC card and play music somewhere. Could be an internal hardwired speaker, could be Bluetooth, could be cast to a Google Home Mini. The important part is that there's a kid-friendly box with an RC522 and some simple control buttons. Everything after that, I'm flexible.

My GF didn’t want to get rid of her old CDs despite never listening to any of them. So I built her a Phonie Box and RFID tagged all of her CDs. She loved it and actually expanded her CD collection because of it. It feels a bit like magic just putting a CD, book or whatever you tagged on the box and it starts playing the album/audiobook/Spotify playlist

I have this idea of building a toy (wooden) vinyl player for my daughter. I love vinyl, so does she - but is still too young (3 years) to handle it properly, so I want this wooden vinyl player to take on wooden discs that I put an RFID chip in, and then the RaspberryPi inside the vinyl player recognizes that chip via an RFID-reader and gets some music playing. I worked out the latter part (Phoniebox ftw) but need advice on how to best get a child-proof mechanism in order to get the wooden discs spinning.

Maybe look into the Phoniebox project on Github? I built one a while ago using a raspberry pie and while I am not a programmer the software does for me exactly what you describe. I scan a tag and it then plays the spotify album

The 3d printed parts are my own design, the electronics and software are all from: https://github.com/MiczFlor/RPi-Jukebox-RFID.

Also AdGuardhome will use optimistic caching, which is great.

The main repo is GPLv3: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome

They already have many other commercials products and I guess also the default filter rules are very good because of their experience in the domain.

But I think you can use it completely without the AdGuard servers and use other filter list sources.

How it compares to let's say AdGuard Home? Seems similar https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome

I'm using adguardhome v0.107.42 openwrt snapshot on linksys wrt1900ac v2, but when using DoH it won't resolve upstream DNS, but DoT is works perfectly OK, I've already set allow_unencrypted_doh to true in config .yaml file as per instruction here

AdGuard Home?

Regarding open source, AdGuard DNS actually is:

How does this compare to adguard home [ https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardHome ] ??
