Install Pi-Hole as a Docker container using Portainer

This will be installed as a container onto Docker running on an OpenMediaVault server

It also requires Portainer

Create a new Docker MACVLAN adapter

A Macvlan is a type of network driver in Docker that allows a container to be directly attached to a physical network interface on the host system. This provides the container with its own MAC address and allows it to appear as a separate physical device on the network.

Logon to the OpenMediaVault server using SSH and note down the name of the network adapter using on the LAN. Typically if wired this will be eth0 but double check.

ifconfig

Now, you need to determine the network design you’re system is running in. You’ll need the following data values

Execute this command in the SSH session substituting the values with your own.

sudo docker network create -d macvlan -o parent=`eth0` --subnet=`192.168.1.0/24` --gateway=`192.168.1.254` --ip-range=`192.168.1.95/32 grinntec-net`

Create Volumes

In Portainer and the local Docker environment goto Volumes and add two volumes:

etc-pihole

etc-dnsmasq.d

Create container

Under Containers add a new Container and give it a name of Pi-Hole and for the Image path enter pihole/pihole:latest.

Add five Manual network port publishing ports as below

Under the Volunessections create two new volumne mounts.

Under the Network section select the MACVLAN adapater created earlier.

Under the Env section add two new environment variables.

Under the Restart Policy section set it to Always.

Under the Capabilitiesenabled Net Admin.

Click Deploy Container

Once the container is running you can logon to the web portal using the IP you configured on the MACVLAN.
