Docker - pihole resolves hostname with Docker IP

Help docker
1

Expected Behaviour:

  • return the IP address stored in /etc/pihole/local.list

Actual Behaviour:

  • pihole DNS services is resolving the pihole hostname with the internal Docker IP address
  • /etc/hosts contains internal Docker container IP address instead of ServerIP

Debug Token:

I think i may be facing similar issue. I have pihole on docker (win10) and pihole returns localhost for all queries. Does that mean I would have to enable DHCP for pihole in order to see the local private IP of the connected clients?

Note: the internal docker IP is from range 171.17.xx.x but when i say "localhost" that is the host machine - WIN10 with a static of 192.168.xx.x range.

I was able to solve that issue by manually setting the correct IP address (static) within the file /etc/hosts and restart the resolver using the command pihole restartdns
