Technitium would be better

Technitium is interesting, but better at what?

Blocky only does one thing: It resolves (and optionally logs) DNS queries.
There’s no database, there’s no web UI and no DHCP.
You can optionally add a database to Blocky for query logging, which is useful if you need to debug your blocklists or just for getting some more statistics than you can get from the built-in Prometheus metrics endpoint.
Configuration details are over here, https://0xerr0r.github.io/blocky/latest/configuration/
