this thread will get butchered up
You are the author of [How To] Install Pi-Hole in Docker: Update - 08/10/18 right?
Care to elaborate
- why do you suggest configuring a DNS server manually (why do you think this is needed at all?)
- why do you suggest using Google's server when it's about using Pi-Hole (do you catch the irony handing out your whole surf history to Google? Some people recommend using Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 in the meantime but this doesn't improve things a lot)
Are you aware that if there is no real reason to configure manually a DNS server @Nefertiti would've been up and running within minutes and not days? At least I think it's better to finish a task within minutes and without hassles than spending hours on something that requires a thread in a forum full of problematic advises (e.g. recommending to not use a well known DHCP feature called 'static allocation' the OP already successfully used)
