# Run PiHole on your UDM ### Features 1. Run PiHole on your UDM with a completely isolated network stack. This will not port conflict or be influenced by any changes on by Ubiquiti 2. Persists through reboots and firmware updates. ### Requirements 1. You have setup the on boot script described [here](https://github.com/boostchicken/udmpro-utilities/tree/master/on-boot-script) 2. PiHole persists through firmware updates. The on-boot script does not. If you update your FM setup on-boot again and everything should work. ### Customization * Feel free to change [20-dns.conflist](https://github.com/boostchicken/udm-utilities/blob/master/run-pihole/udm-files/20-dns.conflist) to change the IP address of the container. Make sure to update all ip references and the iptables rules in [on_boot.sh](https://github.com/boostchicken/udm-utilities/blob/master/run-pihole/udm-files/on_boot.sh). The IP address can be anywhere from x.x.x.3 to x.x.x.254. .1 is reserved for the gateway and .2 is reserved for the macvlan bridge. * If you don't want to use vlan5, just replace br5 with br(vlanid) in [on_boot.sh](https://github.com/boostchicken/udm-utilities/blob/master/run-pihole/udm-files/on_boot.sh) and [20-dns.conflist](https://github.com/boostchicken/udm-utilities/blob/master/run-pihole/udm-files/20-dns.conflist), also update all the ips accordingly ### Steps 1. On your controller, make a Corporate network with no DHCP server and give it a vlan. For this example we are using vlan 5. 2. Install the CNI plugins with by executing [install-cni-plugins.sh](https://github.com/boostchicken/udm-utilities/blob/master/run-pihole/install-cni-plugins.sh) on your UDM 3. Copy [20-dns.conflist](https://github.com/boostchicken/udm-utilities/blob/master/run-pihole/udm-files/20-dns.conflist) to /mnt/data/podman/cni (or a place of your choosing and update [on_boot.sh](https://github.com/boostchicken/udm-utilities/blob/master/run-pihole/udm-files/on_boot.sh) symlink). This will create your podman macvlan network 4. Update your on_boot.sh to include the commands in [on_boot.sh](https://github.com/boostchicken/udm-utilities/blob/master/run-pihole/udm-files/on_boot.sh). You can leave out the iptables rules if you don't want to DNAT all DNS calls to your PiHole 5. Execute on_boot.sh 6. Run the pihole docker container, be sure to make the directories for your persistent pihole configuration. They are mounted as volumes in the command below. ``` podman run -d --network dns \ --name pihole \ -e TZ="America/Los Angeles" \ -v "/mnt/data/etc-pihole/:/etc/pihole/" \ -v "/mnt/data/pihole/etc-dnsmasq.d/:/etc/dnsmasq.d/" \ --dns=127.0.0.1 --dns=1.1.1.1 \ --hostname pi.hole \ -e VIRTUAL_HOST="pi.hole" \ -e PROXY_LOCATION="pi.hole" \ -e ServerIP="10.0.5.3" \ pihole/pihole:latest ``` 7. Set pihole password ``` podman exec -it pihole pihole -a -p YOURNEWPASSHERE ``` 8. Update your DNS Servers to 10.0.5.3 (or your custom ip) in all your DHCP configs. 9. Access the pihole like you would normally.
