I want to use pi-hole and it comes highly recommended to use raspberry pi to cover the house and have an always on capability. I started looking at just starter packages at Amazon and they don’t come with a monitor, which it looks like you need. How do I do this? I want a raspberry pi to run pi-hole to protect my house.
Edit: Thank you all so much for the tips and all the different ways to get this up and going , I am officially on my pi-hole journey!
Raspberry Pi’s come with VNC pre-installed and you can pre-set up things like hostname, username, password, WiFi, locale, and SSH using the Raspberry Pi Imager, and then once you boot it for the first time and it has fully started up, you can log in with SSH, use raspi-config and enable VNC, and then you can remotely log in with a PC that has a monitor.
You can do setup entirely without ever needing a monitor as long as you have another PC you can connect to it with on your local network.
