Pi Zero W - arm6

Apologies for creating a new topic, didn't want to step on someone's conversation.

Are there any specific requirements planned for Pihole version 6.

Just asking because I still have a Pi Zero W - arm6 and Pi 3B.

I believe Rasperry Pi Foundation will officially support them until end of 2025.

Either of these will work with any version of Pi-hole, as long as you are running a supported OS. We have users running the latest Pi-hole version on the oldest Pi's.

I am running Dev 6.0 on a Pi Zero W with Bullseye, and have several 3B+, Zero2 W, and 3A+. Pi-hole runs equally well on all of these.

Supported OS:

Raspbian=10,11,12 Ubuntu=20,22,23 Debian=10,11,12 Fedora=36,37,38 CentOS=8,9

FWIW, I run Pihole on Pi 2B - which has similar specs to a Pi Zero (1), except that it has wired Ethernet built-in.

Runs fine - on both Buster and Bookworm - no problems, never noticed any lack of power.

During Idle time, Pihole Beta 6 looks pretty much same as Stable v5
Both are running Zero W with 512 RAM

I used to run v6. n my zero 1w without any problems once the Devs fixed the install (thanks!).

I'm currently using Pihole 5.18.2 on one of my Raspberry 1B. Then I assume that I can continue to use this hardware with Pihole version 6.
Is there any information that Resperry PI 1B will only be supported by the operating system until 2025?
That would be a shame, as these RPI 1Bs are very energy efficient and are completely sufficient for such purposes.

Yes, absolutely.

As your question is rather specific, I guess you already have some source of information there? A quick websearch has only revealed Raspberry Pi | endoflife.date but they are not citing any real sources (or rather: what they cite does not seem to back what they claim is said there) so trustworthiness is entirely unclear. However, even if this is the case, support is available in a number of alternatives, such as Debian or Ubuntu.

No, I don't have any sources either. The message came to me in the first post here and I couldn't find any information about it.
