Either self-hosted or cloud, I assume many of you keep a server around for personal things. And I'm curious about the cool stuff you've got running on your personal servers.
What services do you host? Any unique stuff? Do you interact with it through ssh, termux, web server?
For local use only I use Docker Rootless hosting:
I've found problems using Docker Rootless and Tumbleweed as my server's OS, since some configurations are different and some containers don't even work, but I've also learned a lot :)
Do you mean you can't change the DNS server in the DHCP settings or the server the router itself uses? In the first case you might be able to use Pi-Hole's DHCP server instead, while for the latter it shouldn't be an issue - I actually usually leave upstream servers configured there to avoid loops. BTW, you might also be able to flash OpenWRT to your router
You could turn off the DHCP server on your router and let your server handle it. You can then tell your clients to use Pi hole via the DHCP running on your server
What do you use as a replacement for Caddy and Redis?
Nothing for Redis since it's optional and I had problems running SearXNG with it. For Caddy, I forgot to mention that I use Nginx-Proxy-Manager as my reverse proxy for HTTPS hehe
