Question pihole setup/config questions

i guess there is no way to end up with the docker instance having it's own IP address in the 192.168.1.x range?
 
yes my NAS has a static IP
and i'm just changing the DNS server from automatic to manually assigned and using 192.168.1.2 (the NAS IP).
i'm doing that the correct way as i previously had pihole set up in bridge mode before removing and creating it again.
 
this is what happens when i set the DNS server as 192.168.1.2 on the laptop

yes, that's correct.
i deleted the container and set it up again following your site instructions to the letter, same end result

change what IP address to .254?

the IP address of 192.168.1.2 is the IP of the NAS which the docker is running on.
it's a static IP (via DHCP reservation), and the NAS runs many other dockers and services just fine. if you mean change the IP of the NAS then that is just not possible as it would break other services.

Here is the docker settings json export

but your method should work though?
so why isn't it working for me.

personally i'm a little confused as to how this method could ever work, as DNS uses port 53 and at no point has the NAS been set to accept connections on port 53 using this method.
 
however doing a port check, the NAS is saying port 53 is open, however it suggest that traffic on port 53 is not being received into the pihole docker container

Code:
PS C:\Users\chenk> tnc 192.168.1.2 -port 53                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  ComputerName     : 192.168.1.2
RemoteAddress    : 192.168.1.2
RemotePort       : 53
InterfaceAlias   : WiFi
SourceAddress    : 192.168.1.84
TcpTestSucceeded : True
 
Just a thought - in the docker config, are you mapping the UDP & TCP ports 53 in the container to 53, or are they set to auto?

As you are running in host mode, you'd need to have them set to 53:53, not Auto:53 as well as to not be running Synology DNS Server (or anything else on the same port). ;-)
