please see my signature of how to install pihole on OMV, works fine and is not difficult.
You can install adguadHome too if consider too dificult pihole.

Thanks, I have it containerised.
The question is as to whether it’ll destabilise OMV to install it onto the bare metal system.

It will probably only have issues with systemd-resolved. But why do you want to move it to bare metal from a container?

I’ve had config issues that I’m not really sure are resolvable by following a guide. There are variables that seem as though I’ll need to do a deep dive on networking to get a grasp of and I wont have the mental capacity to focus and absorb that kind of material at least until the end of the year.
From what I’ve read, it looks as though the cli installs walk through the config steps and create whatever directories and config files are necessary to get started. I don’t expect it to solve all my problems but I’m hoping it’ll solve a few.
It also seems as though a DHCP server might be one of those things that justifies a bare metal install.

Problems you have in the container will be replaced with problems created by conflicts with the host's services. If you run a dhcp server, it shouldn't matter if it is in a container or native as long as the host is using a static ip.

This is certainly a concern and if you say it’s likely to be a substantial problem then I’ll have to reconsider. Having said that I’ve been under the impression that services like systemd-resolved have conflicts with containerised DHCP servers too

They can if configure to listen on all network interfaces. You could run pihole in a VM using the kvm plugin to avoid all of this. Just follow the kvm guide to create a bridge adapter and set the VM to autostart.

That sounds really interesting, I’ll look into it.
Thank you!

I just realized you are on armbian. Your board might be limited on resources making this a little tougher to do but luckily pi-hole runs with very little. I think you could have a 1 vcpu, 256MB VM.

I have 2GB and nothing stressing the system at all so I’ll give it a try with the specs you describe and hope for the best.
Thanks for your input, I get that this is probably the beginning of another steep learning curve but this seems like the kind of approach that is worth the investment.
I appreciate your time.
On saving I lost connection to the sbc and it’s now not responding. I guess this was predictable but it did say to apply changes in the guide.
Have I missed something obvious? Do I now need to do a fresh install and config from scratch or is there some way to salvage this system?
Are you using a static ip? There is definitely no need to reinstall. You might need to plug a keyboard and monitor into it.
Are you using a static ip?
I set a static ip as per the guide.
Unfortunately I have neither keyboard nor monitor.

I guess you reinstall then. It is impossible to help without more info and you can't get that info without a monitor. You don't even have a tv?

I do have a tv.
I have inputs for the laptop but they're bluetooth.

If it has an hdmi port then you have a monitor that the board can be plugged into. Keyboards are cheap...

The laptop won't help unless you have a usb to serial adapter.
Keyboards are cheap...
I can plug into the tv but as you've observed it's not much good without a keyboard.
Can I ask what's up with the guide that following instructions causes this result? I had a feeling this was a risk but checked the steps three times before applying the changes.
I realise user error is always a likelihood when addressing questions like this, I can only tell you it was a basically stock setup and I followed the guide very carefully

I have personally followed this procedure many times without any problem, and I am convinced that many, many users do as well. That particular procedure has long been published without modification. This is the first time I read that someone has had this problem.
So, I'm sorry, but I can only think that you have made some mistake in the values entered in the configuration of the bridge interface.
Perhaps through your router you can see if an IP has been assigned to that machine.
I'm assuming you don't have a backup of your operating system either. I recommend you consider this point as a habitual habit, it saves you from situations like this.
I'm sorry
No need for that, I appreciate the time you all take to contribute to a community.
Yes it's an Armbian system on a Libre Renegade board. I do think that as somewhat intricate as those instructions are in some ways (the abstraction of the interface complicates things imo), it is ultimately a fairly simple process. I don't think I made any mistakes.
