Hi,
in the directory “/var/www” I saw the admin and pihole folders twice. Once in the root of “www” and also in the “html” subdirectory. Why?
And what should I note if I wanna install other software, like a website or cms? Maybe if they have also a folder which is called “admin”?

Hi
basically folder admin + pihole are just symbolic links into folder /var/www/html. There are not duplicates. This is needed due to the way PiHole works.
if you require an additional web server application, you would create them into a separat sub folder like /var/www/app1 or /var/www/app2. On your browser you could simply open these web sides using [http://your.ip/app1](http://your.ip/app1) or [http://your.ip/app2](http://your.ip/app2)

Cool.
Should I use lighttpd or nginx?

you are already using PiHole? If yes, you already have a web server installed.
