Running Pi-Hole as a Docker Container

Pi-Hole is a software that act as your DNS provider to actively block internet ads and trackers. It does this by filtering the DNS requests and sending any blocked domains into a blackhole, so the request is never completed.

Another cool thing about Pi-Hole is that it can also work well to monitor your network traffic, as you can set it to log any DNS requests that the server receives. While this software is perfect for devices like the Raspberry Pi, you can install it on any Linux machine. Or, when using Docker, you can even run Pi-Hole on a Windows device.

You can run Pi-Hole on your devices in many ways, but one of the easiest is to use Docker. The advantage of using Docker is that everything you need is set up within the container. Please note that we tested the following steps for installing Pi-Hole through a Docker container on an Ubuntu system. However, they should work fine on any system where you can install “Docker” and “Docker Compose”.
