Pi-hole installation guides for Ubuntu VPS and DietPi

Pi-hole, an open-source network-wide ad blocker that functions as a DNS sinkhole, can be deployed on various platforms to block ads and trackers across connected devices.

For users with an Ubuntu VPS, the installation process involves updating the server via SSH, installing dependencies such as curl and git, and using the official Pi-hole installation command. Requirements include root access and a basic understanding of the terminal.

Alternatively, Pi-hole can be set up on lightweight ARM boards like Raspberry Pi using the DietPi operating system. This method involves flashing a DietPi image onto an SD card using tools like Etcher and configuring network settings such as SSID, password, and SSH server preferences via configuration files.
