Connection to WEB_PORT refused after recent upgrade

Help docker
1

I've been running pihole on a cocker container on my Synology for a few years. I haven't changed any firewall rules. I haven't changed the YAML configuration.

All the files in my pihole volume are still intact.

After a recent upgrade, however, I am getting a connection refused when I try to access the pihole backend (HTTP://10.0.0.5:8001)

I've tried deleting the container and the image and rebuilding everything from a fresh pull. I've checked and double-checked the firewall rules.

I can still access portainer from HTTP://10.0.0.5:9000 and I can see that the container is running.

I just can't access the web interface from multiple browsers on multiple computers and cannot figure out why I cannot access the web interface.

Here is my configuration

services:
  pihole:
    container_name: pihole
    image: pihole/pihole:latest
    ports:
      - "53:53/tcp"
      - "53:53/udp"
      - "67:67/udp"
      - "80:80/tcp"
   
    environment:
      TZ: 'America/New_York'
      WEBPASSWORD: '******'
      ServerIP: '10.0.0.5'
      WEB_PORT: '8001'
      DNS1: '1.1.1.1'
      DNS2: '1.0.0.1'
      DNSMASQ_LISTENING: 'local'
      
    # Volumes store your data between container upgrades
    volumes:
      - '/volume1/docker/pihole/pihole:/etc/pihole'
      - '/volume1/docker/pihole/dnsmasq.d:/etc/dnsmasq.d'
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN 
    restart: unless-stopped
    network_mode: host

Yes.

All variable names were changed in Pi-hole v6 (only TZ is correct in your compose file above).

This is very well documented in our docker repository:

Please, check the new names of the new variables: Upgrading from v5.x - Pi-hole documentation
