My two synced pihole containers use 256Mb ram and 4Gb storage each. One trick I just discovered is that adding "options timeout:1 attempts:1 rotate" to /etc/resolv.conf will almost instantly failover to the 2nd pihole instance when the first primary one gets rebooted.
On the ProxMox container > options, you should set to auto-start otherwise when the proxmox server restarts, you'll be wondering why you can't get out anywhere.
Another so easy to follow, simple, step-by-step...at a very good pace, instruction that I have been looking for. Others are either too confusing, to fast, vague and not something that I am really sure about following. Your videos are superb! Thanks much.
Using Unbound as a recursive DNS server in conjunction with PiHole works great. It increases your security and also prevents ISP's and upstream DNS servers from tracking you and recording your DNS traffic.
@@honestgoat - Please do a part 2: about how to make this pi-hole a recursive DNS server as well as using DoT or/and DoH, plus how to make it secure. - Also show us how to test the ECS & DNSSEC part.
Also, I think you're missing some huige steps here. After installing Proxmox I do not have any bridges selectable, and under the server view all I have is Datacenter > RPi > localnetwork and local. There are definitely steps in between installing Proxmox and installing pi-hole that you're missing here.
You lost me after the 'General' tab. You jumped right over the 'Template' tab and straight to the 'Disks' tab ( 1:18 ). Unless you pick a template... the 'Disks' tab is grayed out. You may want to add texted over the video so anyone, like myself, who are new to ProxMox don't get lost and have to scour Google for the answer. Just a suggestion since it took me a while to find out what I missed until I back up your video and noticed you skipped the 'Template' tab part.
I'm new to proxmox too and thought the same thing as well at first, but it was easy to figure out by clicking it, just pick debian from the template drop down menu
1:55 How does this make any sense at all? "Well I'm gonna set it at /24 because my network uses addresses up to 255" ... what? Where the hell did you get that from? And you also just gloss right over a ton of fields.
This is an excellent video Sir. Informative and to the point, step by step. 👍
Glad you liked it Thank you for the time to leave a comment

This is very helpful, thank you!
good video to explain the process of installation. Thx a lot. 🙂

Your welcome Thank you for the comment
I followed the steps when try to do apt update i am getting 0% connecting , let me know if anything needs to be updated
Thanks for the great vid, but get ready to have your mind blown by proxmox VE helper scripts.
New video for unbound on proxmox .thanks

that might not be a bad idea
@honestgoat we have a video on this it is just old and I am betting the audio is off

apt install curl before installing, otherwise receive error.
Just curious why you prefer this method over using docker compose?
I cant say I do today. I liked the fell of LXC of Docker for a long time.

- how do you add up-to-date block list?
- how to find & add more
8:16 DHCP or DNS?
DNS, for anyone still needing the answer. He mistakenly said DHCP but it should be DNS.
if i make a container, the dns will never work. Idk why
Thanks.

Good tutorial but please drop lastpass for a different password manager.
I hear you. Security is about managing risk sometime that means not using the best tool if users will use a tool.
