While there are some problems with used minipcs (notably drivers), i don't think they are relevant if it is only going to be used as a Home Assistant
That's a good point. This can help me with things like adding a DNS server (I'm assuming pi-hole can be run standalone on a mini PC)
I bought a used mini PC and then set up Proxmox. This little thing is a lot more capable than the Raspberry I used before and it runs my complete home lab, excluding my NAS.
If you're going to run Home Assistant OS you'd be able to run anything that can run in docker. Some things are available to install directly inside the Home Assistant apps system, otherwise you can install portainer and run any docker capable software.
You can also install ad guard home as an add on INSIDE Home Assistant. Works great!
Yep! While I didn’t run mine through HA, I much preferred AdGuardHome over PiHole.
