  • Just so you know, you can run pi-hole as a container as well

    About dhcp, I don’t know about unifi, but I guess in the firewall you can configure static dhcp leases. So son1 devices always get same ip. Then you can configure a hairpin port forwarding, so any requests for ports tcp/udp53 from his devices get forwarded to pi-hole. That is assuming that in the “general” dhcp config you assign an external dns.

    Otherwise you could try creating two different dhcp pools, one with pi-hole (and make sure son1 devices get a static lease in there) and one for everyone else.

    As a side note, I recommend looking into self hosting your piped instance, so even son2 can enjoy YouTube without all the ads! (And the tracking)






  • I use a rPi3 for this stuff exactly. I have about 300 movies in the folder (I know it sounds like a rookie number but I keep only stuff I know it will be watched) and kodi (through jellyfin addon) only takes a few seconds to load. My jellyfin server is not on the nas itself, it’s on a separate docker server for hw transcoding on the fly (and the nas has hdd drives).

    I used the piped addon for youtube.

    I use kore app on my phone to control kodi. Been working like this for about 7 years.
