fedexu / pi-hole

Simple Dockerfile with command guide to setup and use pi-hole docker image. No installation needed :)

Pi Hole

This is a Dockerfile project to install a container with a running pi-hole application ready to be used in any environment.

Commands

Build

To build the image simple download this repository and run the following command in the root folder:

docker build . -t your-tag

Run

To run the image use the command:

docker run -p 53:53/tcp -p 53:53/udp -p 20000:80 -p 443:443 --name pihole -d your-tag

you can customize the port 20000 to be your desired ports.

Personalization

To get the random password that is generated automatically type:

docker logs pihole | grep random

To set a new password use:

docker exec -it pihole pihole -a -p

To add blocksite by command line use:

docker exec -it pihole pihole --regex '(^|\.)test\.com$'

To remove blocksite:

docker exec -it pihole pihole -b -d --regex '(^|\.)test\.com$'

Pump with steroids the block lists

To increase the number of domains blocked of all kind of sites, i created a file with lists that i can find on internets of site to be blocked (malware, ransomware, ads etc...).

To do so you need to copy the file adlists.list into the GUI Group Management -> Adlists

Then you need to copy and paste in the form and press the add button, followed by the refresh of the Pihole gravity in the Tools -> update Gravity It will take a while, take a coffe in the meantime.
