I run it for my pi-hole. It's been great. It tells you when there are package updates when you log in, which I find helpful.
Got a tutorial link to set up the piehole with it? In the process of setting up my piehole with the default instructions from their website.
dietpi-softwareThanks but I was hoping for a link with some more breakdown of the installation process and more resources to learn.
Ah, I see. Have you tried the official docs?
Currently reading them while you posted 😊

They have images for all sorts of devices, and for virtualization platforms (I run mine in VMware).
I ran a different one once before (built a Linux VM, installed Pi), this one was much easier, and it just works.
Unfortunately I can't remember whether I downloaded pihole from some package manager within DietPi, or whether I used the instructions on pihole's site. It's not hard either way, it's really just one package.
A gui is unnecessary for something like pi-hole. As for updates, you can easily automate installation of security updates via unattended-upgrades.
Given pihole's recent record with updates, I'm not sure I want them firing automatically.
Whether you automate pihole upgrades is separate from whether you automate debian package updates. I recommend at least automatically installing security updates for the OS, unless you want to manually keep track and do this for all your devices.
