Pihole could be something good to start with, its pretty simple to setup, doesnt depend on other services, doesnt require hefty hardware, and has a meaningful impact.

Im not locked into docker, but it’s what I have experience with so far, and a lot of services seem to have docker installation as a default option.

Do you think those things make it difficult to switch to podman? What are the differences?

Thanks, I’ll look into this

That’s what came up in my search at first. Seems legit.
