Docker Swarm / Pi-Hole

Hi all,

I was trying to instal pi-hole using a youtube video on OMV5/Docker. Didn't get very far but on the video it says to run a command: docker swarm init

But now I can not access the portainer interface - says connection refused. Any ideas?

So I can continue with pi-hole installation.

Yes I did reboot. In the end I removed docker swarm and decided to install pi-hole on a separate Pi.

For me, I just find adding stuff to OMV5 via Docker is too diffcult.

I currently have plex, logitech media server, pi-hole (now abandoned) and urbackup installed on OMV5. Only urbackup is working and that is only because you (geaves) and others helped me a lot to get that up and running a while back.

That's how I have mine, complete with unbound

Look at the guide for Plex here however, you can bypass the first part and use stacks, create a stack called Plex, copy that compose file (the bit in code) and paste into the stack, then edit the settings for your use. The great thing about using a stack is that you can change settings if the container throws any errors by simply stopping the container and editing it's stack then deploy it again and the changes will be initiated

Thanks geaves. I should have said that I got Plex to install OK via Portainer but it just wont claim my plex server (tried it with the Plex_claim and without it). Did all other kinds of troubleshooting exercises but to no avail. Will try the plex guide you mentioned but I think the issue is more a plex thing rather OMV.

Regarding unbound, I'm curious as not heard of this. I went to the website to read about it but still not sure what it does in connection to pi-hole?

please use my guide ( see on signature).

Thanks within the stack there is a /transcode volume that needs to be setup. Just want to understand the storage implications whilst transcoding. For example, can I set up a transcoding folder alongside my 32GB SD card 'AppData' for Docker or do I need to setup a bigger hard drive?

Do the files in the transcoding get deleted once the movie has finished etc?

Documentation here I have mine running under Diet-Pi and it just works, use this to test performance your Pi-Hole should come out on top

OK I think I need to spend a bit more time researching this but quick question is this kind of a replacement for using Open DNS etc?

I've got pihole using version 3 working on swarm mode and it doesn't seem to have effected my version 2 containers as I read (not sure if its correct, that in swarm mode version 2 wont work but version 3 will and vice versa).

I just want to know if there is any noticeable issues with using swarm mode as I only intend to use swarm to run both version 3 and version 2 docker containers?

Not sure I follow. I am using the pihole docker as stack which is version 3. But it needs to be in swarm mode, which then means all of my dockers on version 2 wont work.

in the end, I followed the DBTech video of installing version 3 stacks directly on device rather than through portainer. I got pihole to work (at least the interface) but something is still wrong with it as I get this error on the logs?

Pihole does not work when I switch over my router to the pihole device - I lose internect connectivity.
