CE and Docker: Pi-Hole setup and configuration

Help & Support Operating System
7

Hi all,

I have installed Docker Pihole on a Beeling GT1 Ultimate, S912 device with 3.14 kernel with CoreELEC latest nightly build. Installed it via SSH and image pihole/pihole:v4.4-arm64. At first run it won’t run because of an error you con see in pihole logs. I solved this by extracting start.sh from the pihole image, then I add this line “rm /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf” (without the quotes) and then copying it to back to the pihole image.

Workaround for CoreELEC

# docker cp pihole:/start.sh .
# nano start.sh

add line rm /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

echo " ::: Starting docker specific setup for docker pihole/pihole"
validate_env || exit 1
rm /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
prepare_configs

save the file then run;

# docker cp start.sh pihole:/start.sh
# docker restart pihole

Then it worked just fine
