# Run Pi-hole on your UDM ## Features 1. Run Pi-hole 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 successfully setup the on boot script described [here](https://github.com/boostchicken/udm-utilities/tree/master/on-boot-script) ## Customization * Feel free to change [20-dns.conflist](../cni-plugins/20-dns.conflist) to change the IP address and MAC address of the container. * Update [10-dns.sh](../dns-common/on_boot.d/10-dns.sh) with your own values * If you want IPv6 support use [20-dnsipv6.conflist](../cni-plugins/20-dnsipv6.conflist) and update [10-dns.sh](../dns-common/on_boot.d/10-dns.sh) with the IPv6 addresses. Also, please provide IPv6 servers to podman using --dns arguments. ## Steps 1. Copy [05-install-cni-plugins.sh](../cni-plugins/05-install-cni-plugins.sh) to /mnt/data/on_boot.d 1. Execute /mnt/data/on_boot.d/05-install-cni-plugins.sh 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. 1. Copy [20-dns.conflist](../cni-plugins/20-dns.conflist) to /mnt/data/podman/cni. This will create your podman macvlan network 1. Copy [10-dns.sh](../dns-common/on_boot.d/10-dns.sh) to /mnt/data/on_boot.d and update its values to reflect your environment ``` ... VLAN=5 IPV4_IP="10.0.5.3" IPV4_GW="10.0.5.1/24" ... CONTAINER=pihole ... ``` 1. Execute /mnt/data/on_boot.d/10-dns.sh 1. Create directories for persistent Pi-hole configuration ``` mkdir -p /mnt/data/etc-pihole mkdir -p /mnt/data/pihole/etc-dnsmasq.d ``` 1. Create and run the Pi-hole docker container. The following command sets the upstream DNS servers to 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8. ```sh podman run -d --network dns --restart always \ --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 \ --dns=8.8.8.8 \ --hostname pi.hole \ -e VIRTUAL_HOST="pi.hole" \ -e PROXY_LOCATION="pi.hole" \ -e ServerIP="10.0.5.3" \ -e IPv6="False" \ pihole/pihole:latest ``` The below errors are expected and acceptable ```sh ERRO[0022] unable to get systemd connection to add healthchecks: dial unix /run/systemd/private: connect: no such file or directory ERRO[0022] unable to get systemd connection to start healthchecks: dial unix /run/systemd/private: connect: no such file or directory ``` 1. Set pihole password ```sh podman exec -it pihole pihole -a -p YOURNEWPASSHERE ``` 1. Update your DNS Servers to 10.0.5.3 (or your custom ip) for each of your Networks (UDM GUI | Networks | Advanced | DHCP Name Server) 1. Access the pihole like you would normally, e.g. http://10.0.5.3 if using examples above ## Upgrading your PiHole container 1. Edit upd_pihole.sh script to use the same `podman run` command you used at installation. 2. Copy the upd_pihole.sh script to /mnt/data/scripts 3. Anytime you want to update your pihole installation, simply run `/mnt/data/scripts/upd_pihole.sh` ## PiHole with CloudFlareD Command ```sh podman run -d --network dns --restart always \ --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 CLOUDFLARED_OPTS="--port 5053 --address 0.0.0.0" \ -e VIRTUAL_HOST="pi.hole" \ -e PROXY_LOCATION="pi.hole" \ -e ServerIP="10.0.5.3" \ -e PIHOLE_DNS_="127.0.0.1#5053" \ -e IPv6="False" \ boostchicken/pihole:latest ```
