How to get Pi-Hole up and running in a container under Ubuntu with Docker. This could work just as easy without the network steps on other Linux distro's If you have Ubuntu 17 or higher then you'll need to disable dnsmasq using the following commands. Disable and stop the service sudo systemctl disable sudo systemctl stop systemd-resolved Then put the following line in the [main] section of your /etc/NetworkManager/ dns=default Delete the symlink /etc/ rm /etc/ Restart network-manager sudo service network-manager restart once that's done you should be able to run the pihole docker image without issues. The following commands worked OK for me but you can find full list of option on sudo docker pull pihole/pihole sudo docker run -d \ --name pihole \ -p 53:53/tcp -p 53:53/udp \ -p 67:67/udp \ -p 80:80 \ -p 443:443 \ -v "${DOCKER_CONFIGS}/pihole/:/etc/pihole/" \ -v "${DOCKER_CONFIGS}/dnsmasq.d/:/etc/dnsmasq.d/" \ -e ServerIP="${IP}" \ -e ServerIPv6="${IPv6}" \ --restart=unless-stopped \ --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \ --dns= --dns= \ pihole/pihole:latest echo -n "Your password for https://${IP}/admin/ is " docker logs pihole 2** /dev/null | grep 'password' **Angled brackets aren't allowed in comments Follow us on Twitter -
