“The very old raspberry pi that was using for pi-hole decided to die, so I thought I'd try pi-hole on a pi zero w. I was a bit concerned that it wouldn't work so well, as the zero w only has wifi (no ethernet). No fear though, it was up and running in no time. Just a pi zero w dangling from a spare usb port on my router, doing it's thing and working perfectly for the job”
“Small, cheap and versatile, a brilliant way to dip one’s toes into coding and electronics. Getting up and running was a breeze, and I’m already thinking of more projects to try out.”
“The Pi Zero is getting to be older tech these days on ARMv6, but if you're learning cluster computing, or a fan of terminal-only setups, this could be for you. One of these consistently managed network-wide Pi-hole with no hiccups, and was even a Nagios Server (with Apache) monitoring ~20 network nodes for a while.
Docker and MicroK8s probably a no-go zone with Pi Zero.”
“An excellent small computer for home projects.
I recently completed an mmdvm hot spot used for amateur radio using one.
I only gave it 4 stars as the wifi is slightly a weaker signal than you might expect...although considering its size quite acceptable.... and it has to be used near your wifi router.”
