How would I use Pi-hole on a VMware ESXi virtual machine? If possible Photon OS is the operating system I would like to use. Would I just install it normally or would there be something else I have to do to make it work?
I'm running Pihole in ESXi currently on Debian 10 with no issues.
For ESXi, its the same steps as a physical machine (Almost)
Create your VM
Install your Linux distro of choice (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS)
Set a static IP address (Local IP) on your new VM
Run the AIO installer "GitHub - pi-hole/pi-hole: A black hole for Internet advertisements"
Log into your router, and configure your DNS to point to Pi-Hole
As far as Photon, you can run Pi-Hole via Docker. I personally haven't used Photon so I can't give direct guidance, but I found some links that should help you out
