Can't get DHCP server to work in dockered Pi-hole

I have been trying now for days and cannot seem to get it working

DHCP_ROUTER=192.168.1.1
PIHOLE_DOMAIN=lan
ServerIP:192.168.1.62

Additional information:
my router: 192.168.1.1
Pihole: 192.168.1.62 (docker network 172.23.0.2)

What am i doing wrong
dhcp server is not working not getting any ip's

Your compose differs in various aspects from the original suggestions

Specifically (but not limited to), you seem to mount single files where DHCP with docker-compose and bridge networking (as well as Pi-hole's sample configuration for a standard Pi-hole) would do so with directories. This may well be relevant if you'd want lease information to persist.
In addition, you seem to be doing so for non-standard Pi-hole files, e.g. 07-dhcp-options.conf.

Other deviations would include, without being comprehensive (click for details):

I've found the following parts in your config to deviate just be diffing your compose against the original:

volumes:
  pihole:

    expose:
      - 80

    env_file:
      - .env

    networks:
      front-tier: {}

---

I'd strongly recommend to work with Pi-hole's defaults and the suggested configuration as closely as possible, and then gradually adopt it to your requirements.

Thanks this is from https://veerendra2.github.io/pihole-dhcp-relay/

I'll go back to basics to see if that helps
