PiHole service is the only project I run on my raspberry pi. Setup is not as user friendly as we are accustomed to these days, however, with a few hours you will have a robust ad/analytics block system in place.

I use one to control a 3D printer with https://octoprint.org and another to integrate some smart home devices that are not homekit compatible with my homekit setup, using https://homebridge.io.

How does it perform as a Minecraft server? Do you use any mods or just vanilla?

I have 3 running right now

1x Raspberry Pi model B (from 2012!) - runs a reverse proxy to things in my local network, and runs a dynamic DNS service. It's showing its age as its ARMv6 and I guess at some point updates won't be as frequent so will eventually have to retire it, but it works fine for now.

1x Pi model 3 - runs various services, inc. GOGS a private git server, ZNC, a service to control my TV, a service to control my 'smart plug' lamp through a private API, a private docker registry, a voicemail system connected to Twilio

1x Pi model 3 - running Pi-Hole and wireguard

I love all of them very dearly and looking forward to reading this thread!
