Can I use an RPI 2 to make an Rasbian image with Pi-hole already installed, put it in the mail to a friend, and have them boot their RPi 1 and then make it work? The main difference not only being the slightly older RPi model (and different SD card format), but also a different DHCP environment... …

It will boot and work normally, so the main issue is the different network. If you can setup his network credentials on the pi (if needed) and make sure it uses a static IP address (configured automatically during Pi-hole setup), then he should be able to plug it in and use it with that address.

Thanx for all the tips! I think I'll go with a screen sharing option. Luckily there are many FLOSS alternatives available, like meet.jit.si, that doesn't even require you to install anything but a compatible webbrowser :slight_smile:
