Docker Pi-hole with LanCache

Recently I worked with LanCache.net project. LanCache.net project has 2 main projects. One of them is LanCache-dns which runs a dns server and adds domains from uklans/cache-domains. Also, I know about Pi-Hole project, which also runs a dns server, and I thought it'd be cool if 2 projects worked together. So, I did it.

If you use uklans/cache-domains or Lancache-dns this project is for you. You can import cache domains from uklans/cache-domains or your fork using Pi-Hole web.

Quick Start

1. Copy docker-compose.yml.example to docker-compose.yml and update as needed. See example below: Docker-compose example:

version: "3"

# More info at https://github.com/pi-hole/docker-pi-hole/ and https://docs.pi-hole.net/
services:
  pihole:
    container_name: pi-hole-with-lancache
    hostname: pi-hole
    image: djosmer/pi-hole-with-lancache:latest
    # For DHCP it is recommended to remove these ports and instead add: network_mode: "host"
    ports:
      - "53:53/tcp"
      - "53:53/udp"
      #- "67:67/udp" # Only required if you are using Pi-hole as your DHCP server
      - "8080:80/tcp"
    environment:
      TZ: 'America/Chicago'
      # WEBPASSWORD: 'set a secure password here or it will be random'
    # Volumes store your data between container upgrades
    volumes:
      - './etc-pihole:/etc/pihole'
      - './etc-dnsmasq.d:/etc/dnsmasq.d'
    #   https://github.com/pi-hole/docker-pi-hole#note-on-capabilities
    #cap_add:
    #  - NET_ADMIN # Required if you are using Pi-hole as your DHCP server, else not needed
    restart: unless-stopped

2. Run docker compose up -d to build and start pi-hole (Syntax may be docker-compose on older systems)
3. Use the Pi-hole web UI to change the DNS settings Interface listening behavior to "Listen on all interfaces, permit all origins", if using Docker's default bridge network setting. (This can also be achieved by setting the environment variable DNSMASQ_LISTENING to all)

Here is an equivalent docker run script.
