Didn't know where exactly to post this, as its a Linux, Mystic & Raspberry Pi
question... 

I *was* running a Pi-Hole (Removes some/most adverts from the internet -
altho it doesn't do a great job on YouTube, on other spaces like CNN or
FaceBook it works 100%...) on my Home Assistant box. 

Recently, I tried TwisterOS for the Raspberry Pi 4- which, if you haven't
checked out yet, is an awesome OS that focuses on box86 and running Linux
software designed for x86 systems. It is well put together, has great themes
and some good scripting and software for retro gaming on the RPi.

Anyway, one of the scripts included was to setup a Pi-Hole... it was quick,
easy, and as most Pi-Hole installs it ended at a web console that was
standard Pi-Hole setup.

MY QUESTION:

Do you forsee any issue with running a Pi-Hole on my Mystic BBS Raspberry Pi
box? Since this box runs 24/7, it would be a good place for Pi-Hole to
live... (As my smart home grows, I either need to switch to a stronger system
than a Pi, or at least not have other additions running on the box... I need
all the RPi's power for Home Assistant alone.) 

I think the BBS & Pi-Hole would run fine on an RPi 4 w/ 1gb RAM... if not
I'll just throw a bigger RAM Pi at it.

Any of you running a Pi-Hole side by side with Mystic? It becomes a DNS
server to that IP address, would this interfere with my BBS? (I use SSH and
Telnet so I figured it could work.) 

Thanks for any discussions around this topic. w00t w00t!!!
