(Implemented) Pi-Hole

For those that want to run docker manually from SSH CLI in its native form, it works fine, I've been using it a month.

Happy to post how when I get home, it's pretty simple.

While alternatives are being discussed here, I wanted to mention that you can also run adblock on many home routers by replacing the factory firmware with OpenWRT and then installing the adblock package:

OpenWrt Project: Supported devices

OpenWrt Project: Ad blocking

Gargoyle Router Management Utility

This blocking method is perhaps not as feature rich and user friendly as PiHole or AdGuard with the nice GUI — but it does not require extra hardware and it will block the most common privacy violating trackers (DoubleClick, Google Analytics, etc.) What matters most is the quality of the block list; everything else is a matter of preference.

There is also an app called GA checker for Kodi which scans your addons for obfuscated code and references to Google Analytics.

I just installed pi-hole. Excellent piece of SW!

First I tried Linux-Server image and it worked great! I allowed me to set my own port for WebGUI (8084 in my case). I wanted to try newer version, so I uninstaled this one and go to v4.1 by following Iridium's post and punkid's one.

So, after doing:

docker pull pihole/pihole:latest

I created script file:

Code

1. docker run -d \
2. --name pihole \
3. --cap-add NET_ADMIN \
4. -p 53:53/tcp \
5. -p 53:53/udp \
6. -p 80:80 \
7. -e DNS1=127.0.0.1 \
8. -e DNS2=1.1.1.1 \
9. -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime \
10. -v /storage/.config/pihole/:/etc/pihole \
11. -v /storage/.config/pihole/dnsmasq.d/:/etc/dnsmasq.d \
12. -v /storage/.config/pihole/html/:/var/www/html/html/ \
13. -h $(cat /etc/hostname) \
14. -e ServerIP=$(ip route get 127.0.0.1 | awk '{ print $NF; exit }') \
15. -e WEBPASSWORD=654321 \
16. --restart=unless-stopped \
17. pihole/pihole:latest

And everything worked great. I accessed config page normally. Since v4 pi-hole does not come with any blacklists I decided to add some:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts

https://mirror1.malwaredomains.com/files/justdomains

http://sysctl.org/cameleon/hosts

https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_tracking.txt

https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_ad.txt

https://hosts-file.net/ad_servers.txt

And that's it. Everything works.

But, one option remain problem for me. I already have multiple lighttpd servers runing on LE and in order to accomodate pi-hole I moved one to other port. I tried messing with -p option but everything except 80:80 is not working properly or at all. Any workaround is known?

Also, what about -e ServerIP? I put 127.0.0.1, but Iridium suggested 9.9.9.9 and punkid suggested 192.168.1.x. Should I use DNS address, internal host or LAN IP?

Apologies, super docker noob here, just followed blindly these steps on x86 (chrome box /w LE 9.0.2) and it worked great....until the reboot..

pi-hole doesn't seem to be running, I can't connect to the admin page docker says the container is up and running when running docker container ls command.

I've scrapped docker, reinstalled and followed the exact same steps that got it running the first time but it's behaving like after the 1st restart.

I don't know where to and how to look and troubleshoot, any help appreciated and sorry for the little added value on my end

UPDATE:

Stopping and removing the container then wiping the pihole folder in .config did the trick, I can get it up again over a fresh install; Not too sure how to troubleshoot surviving on restart....

They are the same thing - just renamed. Here

At the moment the LE addon is using pihole V 3.3 to use V4 you'll need to disable the pihole LE addon.

Download the new container:

docker pull pihole/pihole:latest

Then create and run a new script

docker run -d \

   --name pihole \

   -p 53:53/tcp \

   -p 53:53/udp \

   -p 80:80 \

   -e DNS1=9.9.9.9 \

   -e DNS2=149.112.112.112 \

   -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime \

   -v /storage/.config/pihole/:/etc/pihole \

   -v /storage/.config/pihole/dnsmasq.d/:/etc/dnsmasq.d \

   -v /storage/.config/pihole/html/:/var/www/html/html/ \

   -h $(cat /etc/hostname) \

   -e ServerIP=$(ip route get 9.9.9.9 | awk '{ print $NF; exit }') \

   -e WEBPASSWORD=libreelec \

   --restart=unless-stopped \

   pihole/pihole:latest

That will get you running on 4.0. There may be issues as noted by @aptalca

And also i don't know why i have this "DNS resolution is not available" as well.
Could you please me and let me know what i am missing?
i am a noobs in Docker.

Thanks in advance.

Rpi 3B+, LibreElec 9.1.501

I just try to install docker or pi-hole on my LE 9.1.501 on RPi3B+ but installation failed.

yes it helps... thank you

Hi Guys,

I tried installing pihole on the Raspberry PI, which is running libreelec. This is what I did:

1. SSH to Rpi

2. Ran:

docker run -d --name pihole --cap-add NET_ADMIN -p 53:53/tcp -p 53:53/udp -p 80:80 -e DNS1=127.0.0.1 -e DNS2=1.1.1.1 -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime -v /storage/.config/pihole/:/etc/pihole -v /storage/.config/pihole/dnsmasq.d/:/etc/dnsmasq.d -v /storage/.config/pihole/html/:/var/www/html/html/ -h $(cat /etc/hostname) -e ServerIP=$(ip route get 127.0.0.1 | awk '{ print $NF; exit }') -e WEBPASSWORD=xxxx123 --restart=unless-stopped pihole/pihole:latest

3. Ran 'docker ps':

The problem is that when I try to access the admin interface, I get "Connection Refused".

Any ideas how to solve it?

Hi Iridium,

Thank you for replying so quickly

OK it's weird. 2 days later I tried the same script and it works now

Maybe it was a network issue? Anyways, tried the command and got:

Not sure if the 'chown' error is a problem or not?

I had pi-hole working on OSMC but decided to give Libreleec a try. I have another pi-hole running on Debian-buster. I have no experience with Docker.

I didn't see any block lists. I tried copy and past from my other pi-hole via the web-abmin and I got.

I figured out I could run

docker exec -it eda0f4bcf462 pihole -r

But then after entering the ip address. I got

RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted

After doing it again with ipv6 disabled I do to

Hi.

How can I install the Pi-hole web interface in the / storage / folder I would like to have access and edit several files.

I'm using this installer

(Implemented) Pi-Hole

thanks..

Yes, this folder, but it ends there

Missing:

/ Admin /

/ Admin / scripts /

/ Admin / style / vendor /

there is no web interface

Is available I have already found

/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.system.docker/docker/overlay2/Docker_Container/diff/var/

despite everything, thank you for trying to help
