So PiHole is a little special if I recall correctly, you have to give it a dedicated virtual interface. Or at least I did. I'd highly recommend using docker compose(or the podman equivalent) for setting up your various containers. It makes it very easy to bring them up and down and modify them quickly and easily.
Thanks for the directions i was quite stuck!
Not to overload you here, but if you do get PiHole going, I recommend setting up a docker to act as a proxy so you can setup an internal domain. PiHole can manage the internal DNS entries, then the proxy will translate them into the various docker services. So you could have, say, DNS entries that say miniflux.beerd.local to make it very easy to remember.
You can do that without pihole by making DNS entries with your registrar pointing to internal IPS.
True, but not everyone has a public domain. And some of those that do, like myself, prefer a split DNS situation to keep the internals of my network hidden.
Thanks, i will definitely do that
