Hey Chuck, could you do video on running PiHole + Unbound + Wireshark in containers please? I'm trying to set them up on Raspberry Pi 4 but can't find any good tutorials. Thanks. Love your videos and just subscribed.
I watched this video of yours like 20 times over the course of a year or so. Even today, I still came back to check some steps which I've forgotten. Thank you, Chuck. I've been running pi-hole at my home in a virtual machine. Happy user so far.
I don't know if I could handle cooking for him though, hearing positive feedback would confuse me. All my family say is its ok then waits 45 minutes and discusses everything that could have been better. Sorry brought up sore subject.
I would like to mention this, in case anyone has trouble - That if you end up having your pi behind NAT and setup a port forward respectively. Unless you have a static IP on your home network, this can change frequently depending on your ISP. I believe something like dynamic DNS would allow you to make calls to your webhook, without having to constantly update your WAN IP/Port Forward on your router. Food for thought! Thanks for the video Chuck. Best wishes!
I had basically this same setup, but recently moved from PiHole to Adguardhome. With adguardhome you can set upstream DoH, and I'm using OpenDNS DoH. It's great. I even installed a second instance of AdguardHome inside my Unifi Cloudkey, for DNS redundancy at my LAN
At first, I was a bit skeptical of docker as I had to download it to solve a programming issue I had with google collab for my robotics programming. Now, seeing it can be run on a raspberry pi, having a container for a pihole, Anki vector wirepod, AND OctoPrint, this is OFFICIALLY my new favorite thing.
CBT Nuggets is phenomenal! Being able to help coworkers with some of their tech problems is such a great feeling! Just this morning I saw someone with issues with the network printer and found out it didn't have an IP address. Low and behold it had a broken/loose ethernet cable! 30 seconds later I'm "the IT hero" at work!
This is why I love development, there is always something new to learn... So I was watching your video and realized I can containerize my app and expose it forwarding the port to the internet which is much easier than using ngrok or some other tunneling tool.. thanks man
I am still building my Python Virtual Assistant (which already includes her own IFTT :P) so i haven't tested this as it is further in my automation plans, but i suspect that if you logout from the PiHole webpage the command won't work (just a guess). Otherwise as i did with mine, make your commands or scripts work only if your smartphone is connected to the internal network (because nowadays smartphone is our 3rd hand) so if you are not home the command won't execute (still i am talking with a custom python program on my mind, i have never used Alexa or any other Virtual Assistant).
@@Noulis7 Logging out won't help as the the shell script talks directly to the PiHole. You can always make things only work if your phone is on your network and have your phone VPN back to your home. I do that as it also makes my phone use PiHole to block ads while I am away from home.
So I stumbled across your channel a few weeks ago. I love watching you tinker and the way you explain things. That encouraged me to go to school for cybersecurity or programming, Im not sure yet, but thank you!
Thank you Chuck for this; had a little difficulty pointing the docker container/ DNS to my router, but it works now with over 8.5k requests in Pi-Hole!!!! The search is so much faster. Excellent tweaks. Thank you for this tweak of genius and a happy new year to you too sir. May you and your family be continuously blessed.
Can you please help me? I am having trouble with docker container as well I installed pihole in a docker container on AWS.. so can I access it using private IP address like he did in this video?
I had some errors following this but I decided to get portainer, I always thought it’s just some fancy stuff I don’t need it but man it make things really easier for me, and I managed to get pinhole running, your ollama video is the reason I started my home lab thing and now I have (pihole, nginx proxy manager, portainer, Nextcloud, ollama, jellyfinn, bitwarden vault, tailscale, moonlight for remote control “I know there are better stuff probably but I’m gonna use some gpu intense softwares and this is made for gaming so it should work for stuff like solidworks”, and soon authelia) thanks for the inspiration your channel is a hidden gem fr
I had to use Portainer to get this to setup correctly. Every time I would try to run a bash script or run a command in the terminal I would have some kind of error occur or pi-hole would time out attempting to even start. Works great now though. Love seeing all the blocked queries.
Hi Chuck , thanks for your awesome work. I would be curious if you could do also a video on pihole+ unbound + nginx+ bitwarden self hosting service in docker.
Great tutorial, but you should not recommend port forwarding like a simple and inoffensive action or publish the access to internal IP addresses on other sites. There are severe implications on LAN security if you do not know what you're doing. Love your videos btw!
That's very true but it already takes some interest in networking to even get that far and watch this video. Most people just connect to their ISP provided shitbox which doesn't do much if anything at all in the way of security, so how much of a disclaimer is appropriate?
@@pcfverbeek from that point of view, i have to agree with you. It's almost like raining in the sea. Cybersecurity is a critical matter that is too far away from the general public.
Hi Chuck, seriously, many people told in the comments, that showing this type of things to audience that not have any sense of security is bad. Nice that you are showing and explaining a lot for mortals, but you should as well inform what type of security concerns they are going get setting port forwarding or like you, setting the 2 different hooks in the internet. Most probably bots grabbed now your config and will scan websites with sub pages. Any API/webhooks without authentication is a bad idea. In best case scenarios, people will get pranks (blocking and unblocking the websites), but in worst case scenario, e.g. there will be some issues in pihole, and user will not update the environment, will be screwed. Seriously, you have very nice training videos, but please I'm encouraging you, to do it with more common sense.
Yeah, I probably wouldn't do this, as all the UDP DNS traffic to your cloud-hosted PiHole is unencrypted and in plain-text, not to mention the portal (when you log in) is all plain-text over the internet. If you're going to do this, I'd suggest hosting it internal to your network so no plain-text stuff is going over the internet :) - I'd love to see this same video done with tshark running on the same box so we can see all the plain-text packets coming into the Ubuntu server.
it didnt work for me i got this error: WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm/v7) and no specific platform was requested
Some of the comments are a bit harsh. True, but harsh. I think the concepts are there and it has started me down the path of doing something similar in php (since the server is in place). I just created directory /var/www/html/automation in the docker and I'm working up my scripts there. That way you don't have to mess with the network.py script having to actually run before you can run the block/unblock. There is also room for improvement to put a common "sites.txt" file that will run through all the sites to block/unblock without having to specify each site for the block/unblock functions. That said, this is a cool "concept" video and should be taken as such. I would never actually implement this video as presented. But it's a good place to start. Thanks for the inspiration!
Am addicted to your energy and channel ! Excellent. Content . If you have a video of your ‘shop’ space and how it’s setup that would help for upcoming you tubers
This is a great video and we want more :D Could you do an extended version or just a part two of this, where you go through how Docker networks should be set up and set up a reverse proxy to host all your different apps (running in their own Dockers via docker-compose) on you home network through Pihole's local DNS - hope this makes sense :)
Thanks for the video, awesome work. only one thing I do not like is IFTTT. Don't get me wrong it's a wonderful tool but I don't like having 3rd party/cloud software access to my home network. Yes I'm sure your could do an IP filtering in your FW rules but to me that's one more thing to worry about. Thanks to you I'm definitely going to do something similar but I am going to use my home automation software that lives only in my home network to do what IFTTT would do in this scenario. Then I can have Alexa run that command. I am using HomeSeer for my automation. I already have 5 Pi-Hole's running on my network and I love them.
My plan is to utilize automation to block my kids devices at a whim. As well as adding their devices to a group to block a bit harder than the normal network.
I have an idea for your next video. Step 1) Create VMware - Ubuntu step 2) Install VHD - HyperV Step 3) Install PowerShell Step 4) Download Modules Step 5) Explain, Parameters and how to use it Step 6) Explain, Noun and how to use it Step 7) Explain, Alias and how to use it Step 8) Explain, Parentheses and how to use it Step 9) Explain, Pipe and how to use it Step 10) Explain, Method and how to use it Step 11) Explain, Properties and how to use it Step 12) Explain, Variables and how to use it Step 13) Explain, Objects and how to use it Step 14) How to fix updates Step 15) how to FInd Information with the above steps Step 16) How to Add users Step 17) Add Mailbox Step 18) Use Intune and Azure using PowerShell and what are common cmdlets Step19) How to manage the exchange server That should keep you busy :) I also want to learn from the mistakes you take to get it done and how you use get-help
PiHole is great, you can even go a step further and make it recursive DNS with unbound and that's well documented too! I am currently running this a VM though. As one thing I don't understand is what happens when the container or host crashes? Where do the history and logs go? Creating docker containers is easy but I never fully grasped how you can save states and such as you would with a VM. Do I re-deploy a container if I should reboot the host or does it somehow resume the previous instance? For those wondering if it's worth setting up PI-Hole it definrtly is and makes your network a whole lot snappier, even more so on slow WAN connections.
If you're wanting to save Docker container logs, etc., you have to write them somewhere outside the container, like to a NAS drive. You would have to configure that in the container.
@@old-patriot4509 thanks for your comment,ive learned a while lot since I posted this comment. Today I would store the logs on a seperate volume or store the directly on some neteork drive like you suggested. Docker is awesome!
I blame Chuck for this... Since watching this video I have set up 3 docker containers on my machine (pihole, dhcp, and httpd). Damn you Chuck!... No really thanks and keep on the good work.
awesome video chuck! pihole is great for blocking ads on mobile devices where you can't really setup an ad blocker to block ads in a mobile game for instance. i've been wanting a video like this - ppl rave about pihole but all the videos out there tell you to buy a pi, when i really just want to run it locally on a server but don't want to dedicate a whole pc to do it, so a container is perfect. thank you for this video i can't wait to try it.
Yes, it does work for blocking ads on mobile devices - which is great. But the downside is that when you try to play an ad supported game, it refuses to run saying the internet is down.
awesome! followed along step by step, even setting up an account with linode. I've had this running less than 25 minutes and my entire network is faster! Amazing!
Can you also discuss the risks of opening port 53 or setting up pihole as an OpenDNS resolver? I've set up mine on AWS free tier and now have 24 clients connected even though I've only set up mine for use on 2 devices. I read up on the pihole forums and it looks like setting it up without VPN can make it vulnerable to DNS poisoning attacks or it might be compromised and used for DDoS attacks. I'm a noob and just following guides, discussing this in detail will be very interesting.
Hello Chuck! Hope you are well. I was wondering what makes Solar Putty so special than other ssh clients. And then I went through the details. I have been using Bitvise all these days. But from now on I think I will be using Solar Putty. And if downloading from the link helps you a bit, then why not? ;) Thank you so much for these wonderful videos. Trying to learn some docker and linux :) All the best to you!
3:35 Thank you so much for this - this was cauisng me problems using a local LAN and local DNS (basically just a HOSTS type file) on my Mikrotik RouterOS router. Thanks! It caused some problems that were very difficult to identify.
1) Why are you repeatedly running sudo when you're already root?? (#) 2) Didn't you just set up a public DNS resolver? (...if so, THIS IS BAD) Awesome video, thanks!
Nice video!! I like your enthusiasm!!! I would suggest to take a look at adguard home dns I will say "same same, but different" I love it cos it has DoH and DoT built in witch gives a nice touch to privacy ;)
@@NetworkChuck What would be the primary advantage of having it on docker? Just being able to take full advantage of the linux OS since you can add more applications with unique NICs?
some people may do this because it can help them type even faster (practice). in a field where there's a lot of typing non-specific things and characters, it doesn't seem like a bad idea; or for just educational purposes (people wanting full details to understand)
@@TheBadchenn what? I've never used linux without tab completion and that includes alpine linux, gentoo, debian, Ubuntu, SUSE, mandrake, Bunsenlabs, DarwinX86, FreeBSD, OoenBSD, ChromeOS, adb, HP-UX, and several more.

Love my Pi-Hole.... between it and openDNS .... made our home internet a whole lot more family friendly!
but they can use dns over https and skip the filter i am looking a way to block that
So I only just discovered this channel, and I love it. So much fun; so engaging. Just amazing!
This is why I love development, there is always something new to learn... So I was watching your video and realized I can containerize my app and expose it forwarding the port to the internet which is much easier than using ngrok or some other tunneling tool.. thanks man
I think VSCode just added the ability to port forward as well, making the dev and deployment experience that much easier.
Hey Chuck, nice and practical tutorials related to docker. Please continue to produce more content on this.
Nice tutorial man! I like it a lot. The only thing that's a bit unnecessary is using sudo while being root.
Love the video. but this is a bit insecure, as now anyone can block/unblock your DNS just by knowing the IP address of your server.

Also add unbound as your upstream in pi-hole and keep your DNS queries local and direct.

Ah, great idea!
Thanks for this video! I was trying to get pihole working the other day but ran into trouble - I’m excited to try your way :)
Loving the wizard 🧙♂️ style beard 🧔🏻 😁 Anything Chuck says has instant street cred because of the beard 👍
Your enthusiasm is awesome.
WOW!!!! I asked for help on this and my message got deleted!! Thats helpful!!
Dude I love you man, I wished I knew of your channel earlier... Anyhow glad I am for finding you, your awesome
Can you also discuss the risks of opening port 53 or setting up pihole as an OpenDNS resolver? I've set up mine on AWS free tier and now have 24 clients connected even though I've only set up mine for use on 2 devices. I read up on the pihole forums and it looks like setting it up without VPN can make it vulnerable to DNS poisoning attacks or it might be compromised and used for DDoS attacks. I'm a noob and just following guides, discussing this in detail will be very interesting.
You can scan for open ports on machines it’s done all the time
Hello Chuck!
Hope you are well. I was wondering what makes Solar Putty so special than other ssh clients.
And then I went through the details. I have been using Bitvise all these days.
But from now on I think I will be using Solar Putty. And if downloading from the link helps you a bit, then why not? ;)
Thank you so much for these wonderful videos.
Trying to learn some docker and linux :)
All the best to you!
It seems to have a 30 day limit as a free trial. And it's Windows only.
"before I was in localhost, now I am in blblblbl" :D
Good to see he is happy too!
Bro u & ur family are cool, thanks for the very informative vids explained in a simple manner, keep doing those docker vids, a lot of fun !!!!
Hi Chuck! Love your keyboard. What kind of keyboard you have?
3:35 Thank you so much for this - this was cauisng me problems using a local LAN and local DNS (basically just a HOSTS type file) on my Mikrotik RouterOS router. Thanks! It caused some problems that were very difficult to identify.
Dude!! Great tutorial.
Excelent video. Great job. Please, consider to make more videos about ifttt
Hey man u take my knowledges to the next level
1) Why are you repeatedly running sudo when you're already root?? (#)
2) Didn't you just set up a public DNS resolver? (...if so, THIS IS BAD)
Awesome video, thanks!
Chuck, will you be able to do some easy tutorials for backing up and restoring config and volumes etc - and something via Portainer too?
great video! but how do you secure the external URL ? surely anyone can browse to it and block your internet ?
Hi Chuck, Cant wait to begin the learning process..
:)
Nice video!! I like your enthusiasm!!!
I would suggest to take a look at adguard home dns I will say "same same, but different" I love it cos it has DoH and DoT built in witch gives a nice touch to privacy ;)
Excellent video..But how to customize the blocking page? Is there a way to redirect using pihole in docker?
Thank you!
I just was able to setup Pi Hole with open dns on my Kali machine! Happy Linux Noob! :D
Great information, thanks for making this video
Thanks I’m setting this up great stuff
I was waiting for this video.
You took long time.
I just want yo say thank You Chuck i have learned alot from watching your videos
Thats my exact setup is pi-hole internally on my esxi that my cucm is on, and then forwarding to openDNS externally. I'm not using IFTTT, though.
Then anything you find blocked on openDNS, you can find out which internal IP looked it up in pi-hole.
Oh, I'm not on docker... just pi-hole installed on linux.
Nice!
Having it on docker is kind of awesome.
@@NetworkChuck What would be the primary advantage of having it on docker? Just being able to take full advantage of the linux OS since you can add more applications with unique NICs?
I definitely want to try this I am learning python currently so I am excited
Best way to learn!
I never in my life have heard saying anyone that nana is there favorite text editor. That's absurd
Who types the complete file name? I am so thankful to 'TAB'
some people may do this because it can help them type even faster (practice). in a field where there's a lot of typing non-specific things and characters, it doesn't seem like a bad idea; or for just educational purposes (people wanting full details to understand)
Auto-complete is not native unix functionality so many users may not have the feature unless they set it up.
@@TheBadchenn what? I've never used linux without tab completion and that includes alpine linux, gentoo, debian, Ubuntu, SUSE, mandrake, Bunsenlabs, DarwinX86, FreeBSD, OoenBSD, ChromeOS, adb, HP-UX, and several more.
