Dietpi update vs Docker+Pihole

Hello guys

Is there somebody who has Dietpi and have Pihole inside Docker?
I have problem with updating or installing somthing inside Dietpi because Dietpi always stop their service (also docker) and then dns resolution doesnt work.

Hi,

what is the reason do use Docker for PiHole? We offer a ready to use installation via our software catalogue.

To bypass your issue, you would need to change docker service definition using dietpi-services, There service would need to be set to:

Include/Exclude         : [excluded]

This should avoid to stop docker. You could check if by running dietpi-services stop

Thanks for providing the solution approach.

You asked why someone would use a dockerized pi-hole.
In my case it is the portability aspect.
I had a dockerized pi-hole before using dietpi.
And migrating the docker container was much more comfortable than messing around with pi-holes config.

Pihole has a teleport function allowing to migrate configuration easily
