Has anyone used Pi-Hole?

Question

linux

Has anyone used https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole?
If so, please tell me your opinion and tell me if I can use it locally by installing it directly on my computer, on which I intend to use it? Or it is necessary to lift only on the external server/device? From the height of my experience, such software is incomprehensible from the start.
