If that’s how you want to run your server that’s your choice, but if it were me, I’d think long and hard about the legal implications of doing this.
So far you’ve not said anything about what you’re trying to achieve and that’s not helping.
What specifically are you attempting to achieve, because right now, what little you have shared sends up red flags and rings the alarm bells … loudly.
What actual problem are you attempting to solve?
If you want pihole blocking away from your LAN, set the DNS for the device to adguard and be done with it.
If you’re trying to do something else, give us some context.
Export to HTML, use pandoc (or sed/awk) to convert to markdown.
Skirting the edge of self hosting, I was faced with this question last month. I ended up with a Ubiquity UCG Ultra. It has all the network management tools on-board and for the first time in a long time I can manage my network from anywhere on the planet.
Access can be via a web UI, or an app.
When you launch chrome, you need to tap in the url bar to show the keyboard, so you can enter a search term or url, even when you start in incognito mode and have no bookmarks.
I have avoided Microsoft software for 25 years or so, so I don’t have any reference point, but there was a time when Google lead the pack in innovation, that’s no longer the case.
That’s got to be the absolute worst KPI I’ve ever heard of.
Don’t get me started.
Gmail for business has been renamed at least four times.
Google Home changed layout for no particular reason and made everything an extra click away.
Google Assistant removed perfectly working actions, try turning on your A/C at 3am in the morning whilst you’re sleeping.
Android changes navigation modes making everything worse.
Gmail keeps changing its layout.
Google Admin moves sections around for no reason.
Google search returns worse results every week.
Google Gemini is infecting every service.
Google Sites removed simple blogging functionality without any alternative.
Free services for life are now paid.
The boundary of where to host what, is not fixed. You cannot host the internet at home. Where people sit on the spectrum varies depending on skill, resources and need.
I highlighted several options that provide a solution for someone with limited skills and resources.
You could host a CALDAV server or a next cloud at home and use the suggestions I provided, or you could use those hosted by someone else.
My answer was to provide ideas, not a how-to guide, answering, in my opinion, exactly what OP was looking for.
That it doesn’t match your idea about solving the problem tells you that there are many ways to solve software problems. My suggestions had a low barrier to entry.
What’s your recommendation for OP?
For about a decade now google has been changing shit for no particular reason, this is just the latest.
Google Sheets will be a simple solution you can do for free.
The app “Track & Graph” is another.
I have been logging all my medical events using Tasker and a Google Calendar. Analysis is manual using graphviz.
I rarely use a docker container in production that I didn’t write the Dockerfile for. Once you understand how it works, you can write your own and install exactly what you want in the way you want it.
From the article:
The feature, which lets you leave your phone plugged in without having to worry about it being overcharged, is an extension of Pixel’s battery optimization features. As its name suggests, it limits your device from being charged over 80 percent, preventing premature battery degradation in the long run.
Every single mobile phone manufacturer, Google included, is continually attempting to improve battery life for many reasons.
Batteries are components that have varying attributes over their lifespan because they’re essentially chemical reactions hopefully contained inside a sealed pouch.
Chemical reactions that vary with temperature, manufacturing tolerances, electricity supply and usage patterns.
Attempting to write software to deal with this is non-trivial and changing.
What looks to you like the same bug might be, or it might not be. It could be a fix for something else that has an unexpected negative impact somewhere else.
The whole ecosystem is continuously in flux, each individual device, each manufacturing batch, and each product revision.
That the same software runs on so many devices is a miracle of modern proportions.

I’ve been an Android user since the HTC Desire in 2010.
I’m unsure what the author of the article is advocating, since the “raw deal” appears to be geared towards making the Android environment more secure.
The author laments that they now have to manually enable security bypass settings and that some (they call it developers, but I’m not sure if they’re referring to Application Development or Phone Platform Development) “developers” can lock down with further API checks.
I’ve been an ICT professional for over 40 years and security is always a balance. On the one end it looks like a phone in a locked room, inaccessible to anyone, on the other end it’s a free-for-all, open to anyone.
I’m not at all sure what the author wants, except for wanting to roll back time to something less secure.
I miss my SPARC, it had to be given away when I started travelling around Australia for five years. The last IBM ThinkPad replaced it, anyone remember recompiling kernels to support the PATA/SATA driver so you could boot the thing? I never did get all the onboard hardware to work and one day someone in the Debian X11 team decided that using multiple monitors as a single desktop wasn’t required any longer.
I bought a 17” MacBook Pro and installed VMware on it, never looked back.
I take your point on not needing server hardware. The proxmox cluster was a gift on the way to landfill when my iMac died. I’m using it to figure out which platform to migrate to after Broadcom bought VMware.
I think it would be irresponsible to go back to it in light of the developments since the purchase.
Yeah, I was getting ready to use NoMachine on a recommendation, until I saw the macos uninstall script and the lack of any progress by the development team, going so far as to delete knowledge base articles and promising updates on the next release three versions ago.
An added wrinkle is getting local USB devices visible on a VDI, like say a local thumb drive (in this case it’s a Zoom H5 audio recorder) so I can edit audio, not to mention, getting actual audio across the network, let alone being synchronised.
It’s not trivial :)
At the moment I’m experimenting with a proxmox cluster, but any VM from VMware don’t just run, so for ancient operating systems in a VM like Win98se, you need drivers which are no longer available … odd since that’s precisely why I run it in a VM. Not to mention that the Proxmox UI expects you to run a series of commands in the console every time you want to add a drive, something which happens fairly often.
For shits and giggles try finding a way to properly shutdown a cluster without having to write scripts or shut each node down individually.
As I said, not trivial :)
I’ve installed Debian on several bits of bare metal hardware since, Raspberry pi, suddenly doesn’t detect the usb wifi dongle that worked in the previous release. Or the hours trying to get an extended Mac USB keyboard to work properly.
Supermicro servers that didn’t support the on board video card in VGA mode (for a text console).
Then there was a solid-state “terminal” device which didn’t have support for the onboard ethernet controller.
It’s not been without challenge, hence my reluctance. I moved to VMware to stabilise the experience and it was the best decision I’ve ever made, other than standardizing on Debian.
I note that I’ve been installing Debian for a while. This is me in 2000:
I’ve never used the tool, but I’m guessing that your Oracle database can create an SQL dump of its schema which presumably is how this tool ingests a database to chart.
