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 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
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!
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!
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
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?
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.
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!
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 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
Granted this is well after the fact, but trying to follow along earlier this week, I'm noticing that if you change resolv.conf on Ubuntu 20.04, once your host machine reboots, it's going to break resolv.conf. Using ls will show it in red, and if you try to open it in an editor, the file will be empty. Has anyone found a safe way to do this in 20.04?
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.
when running that script i always get that error: .Template parsing error: template: :1:8: executing "" at : map has no entry for key "Health" do you or anybody know how to fix that?
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.
Does anyone know the wizardry behind the network.py. I found out that I can't use the docker Chuck created because a PI runs ARM and the one he created is AMD. Thanks
Stupid question: if the IP address is publicly accessible, what's to stop someone using that URL to trigger the block/unblock commands? Is there a way to authenticate who invokes the URL commands?
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!
Not too sure if this is the right area..... I have a teenager who prefers to shop online instead of doing homework, and wondering if blocking ads or redirecting her back to her homework, i.e Google Docs, can be done all on one Raspberry Pi 4 or do I need two of them? Can specific URL's be redirected to a URL of my choosing? Also any recommended videos to make this happen? I am not the IT guru of the century.... Only have A+.
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.
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
I am trying to do it on my raspberry pi 3B+. I already installed pihole and it is working on my network, however, now I am following the video on 12:20. How can I create the file network.py on my network folder that I just created?
when you run the script, it downloads everything and at the end, this error appears. .Template parsing error: template: :1:8: executing "" at : map has no entry for key "Health"
I had success. I started a new ubuntu server with the latest iso, I made sure to do the DNS fix on ubuntu before installing anything else, then followed the steps exactly.
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.
Why not use sudo su and put in the commands that you want and exit from it? Sorry if it's been answered before just getting back into linux and that's what I always used to do.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Wow, this was fun to do! I was able to get my linux server up and running with Docker and Portainer. Then Pi-hole. I have been slowly learning and building our home network. This was by far the most exciting. Especially learning more about docker. Thanks a bunch Chuck. As I've said in other comments; You were born to teach this stuff!
Easiest way is to edit the script and remove everything after printf 'Starting up pihole container ' It's only giving you a message that the container has started, which is not important to see.
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.
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!
Alexa only calls a regular URL. The script that is running this second server is the network.py, which can simply be viewed (vi, cat, less, etc...) so you can look into it.
I have a quick question (sorry if you answered it in the video), but what is port 443 used for? I have another docker container that is already using it, and would like to keep both of these containers working together.
Nice Thing, but one question. block and unblock via browser works, as long as the network.py script is running... But how can i achieve, to automatically start network.py AND keep it running on docker startup??? :-)
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.
If you read the file you opened (/etc/resolv.conf) it is telling you that it is a symlink file from the resolved service - the one you just disabled.. So your changes will be lost after rebooting. Either create your own file and symlink it, or just remove the symlink and create a normal file.
I ran into a problem with this, you can access Internet via IPV4 an IPv6 protocols. Raspberry pie hole blocks IPV4 very well but allows IPv6 to pass by. If I disable IPv6 protocol in my Wi-Fi net work, I cannot access certain websites. How do you configure pie hole so it does the same thing for IPv6 as a desk for IPV4?

Same problem
UA-camr knows how he gets fed, doesn't block UA-cam.
Also add unbound as your upstream in pi-hole and keep your DNS queries local and direct.
Hands down one of the best vids out there
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.

It's not a stupid question. Nothing is stopping someone else to trigger the command. There must be a way to authenticate but I don't know how.

Ok being a bit of a numpty here, how do you update pihole? the usual pihole -up does not seem to work?
Got the same issue... I read that is better to delete the container and recreate the container with the latest version
Great content for a POC, however, the API needs authentication and could be setup to reply with response codes to avoid the 500 error.

and can you share the docker compose file?
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.

.Template parsing error: template: :1:8: executing "" at : map has no entry for key "Health"
same error., tried several machines, never worked for me
Exactly same error for me too
Easiest way is to edit the script and remove everything after
printf 'Starting up pihole container '
It's only giving you a message that the container has started, which is not important to see.
The Last Dance has now taken over my network!!
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.
Chuck, will you be able to do some easy tutorials for backing up and restoring config and volumes etc - and something via Portainer 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 congrats for your excellent videos with very helpful information 😀👍, just an idea for a video configure OpenDNS DoH on pi-hole
Ah, great idea!
Excellent video. Am now using pihole on Garuda Arch linux, which would otherwise be impossible.
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.
Please share your Dockerfile! I really want to see what you have changed to get Alexa integrated....
Alexa only calls a regular URL. The script that is running this second server is the network.py, which can simply be viewed (vi, cat, less, etc...) so you can look into it.
Excellent video..But how to customize the blocking page? Is there a way to redirect using pihole in docker?
I have openDNS setup, should I go Pie-hole or ADBlocker
Anyway to ensure that ads are blocked on MacOS and IOS devices? It seems that it doesn't work as well with IOS and MacOS.
if I were to change internet provider then I would need to start this whole process again in the computer ?
I have a quick question (sorry if you answered it in the video), but what is port 443 used for? I have another docker container that is already using it, and would like to keep both of these containers working together.
Nice Thing, but one question. block and unblock via browser works, as long as the network.py script is running... But how can i achieve, to automatically start network.py AND keep it running on docker startup??? :-)
Wondering the same thing myself also is there a way to change the ports it runs on?
Where you able to figure how to start the python script upon restart?
Can i make this on a ubuntu docker?
Hey man u take my knowledges to the next level
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.
If you read the file you opened (/etc/resolv.conf) it is telling you that it is a symlink file from the resolved service - the one you just disabled.. So your changes will be lost after rebooting. Either create your own file and symlink it, or just remove the symlink and create a normal file.
I ran into a problem with this, you can access Internet via IPV4 an IPv6
protocols. Raspberry pie hole blocks IPV4 very well but allows IPv6 to
pass by. If I disable IPv6 protocol in my Wi-Fi net work, I cannot
access certain websites. How do you configure pie hole so it does the
same thing for IPv6 as a desk for IPV4?
This would still work if pihole is running on a NAS on a different network right? I would just have to set my PC to look there instead?
