I know some folks are anti Ubiquiti Unifi on here, but you can run pihole (along with a bunch of other stuff) right on a UDM/UDM-Pro. IMO it makes the most sense to run this on the router, and you can run it in a docker container.

I went down a similar hole with a UniFi Dream Machine. udm-utilities [0] basically allows you to run all kinds of stuff on it through podman. Went from trying to teach it to mimic my ISPs router to get internet working, to banging my head against IPv6 prefix delegation, to now running adguard, homebridge and a bunch of other things across different VLANs on it. All in all, I am happy with the result, and happier that I got dragged out of my progrmaming bubble to learn proper networking with IPv6. [0]: https://github.com/boostchicken/udm-utilities

I run a Ubiquiti UDM Pro as the router for my home network and slapping a few additional containers (it uses podman) on top like pi hole is doable e.g. using https://github.com/boostchicken/udm-utilities I use it for pi hole and rclone backups. It’s not exactly great as a home server if you want total freedom/control but it has a decent ARM SoC, a swappable 3.5“ drive bay and even though it’s got a fan I can’t hear it . I only use it because it’s obviously running anyway and that was the least expensive way to add some things I wanted to my local network.
