blocky VS Maza ad blocking

I run multiple blocky instances in a kubernetes cluster. I don't know if it makes sense ... but I'm running kubernetes cluster at home, so making sense is relative ;p

The PI is running a DNS proxy (https://github.com/0xERR0R/blocky) and not much else at the moment.

I switched from pihole to https://github.com/0xERR0R/blocky for internal DNS, and I found it to be a lot easier to use compared to pihole. Setting up DNS entries was as easy as typing a single line in their config.yml, and restarting the service.

You could try using blocky instead of pihole. It's stateless and much more friendly to run.

Link to the Projects' GitHub pages: 1. https://github.com/0xERR0R/blocky [Blocky] 2. https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome [AdguardHome] 3. https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole [Pi-hole]

Any specific feature you need from pihole that Blocky doesn't have? Blocky is a much nicer tool for AdBlocking especially if deployed in k8s because it's stateless and configured via a single config file. Plus it's written in Go!

Still, to answer the question: https://github.com/0xERR0R/blocky

There is also blocky. I like it because it is light, declarative, stateless, can use redis as cache and has prometheus integration. This plays really nicely with my setup.

https://github.com/tanrax/maza-ad-blocking - Local ad blocker. Like Pi-hole but local and using your operating system. - if you have heard about AdGuard, but want to use something similar locally, give this tool a try.
