Like many others, I am not using Pi-hole as my DHCP server, as the functionality is too basic. Due to this I believe, reverse lookups do not work and the dashboard only shows IP addresses. I want to resolve this.
I am using Docker. My volumes are:
Host/volume Path in container
/volume2/docker/Pihole/dnsmasq.d /etc/dnsmasq.d
/volume2/docker/Pihole/pihole /etc/pihole
I have created a hosts file in the format "[IP Address][space][Hostname]"
I saved the file here: \[server]\Docker\Pihole\hosts
That did not work.
So I then tried creating \DS1821\Docker\Pihole\dnsmasq.d\02-lan.conf
which contains addn-hosts=/etc/lan.list
and then copying the hosts file to \DS1821\Docker\Pihole\lan.list
That also did not work.
When googling this question, there are literally thousands of people looking for the same answer. There are also dozens of different solutions, many not supported or related to editing volatile files. It is a very frustrating process and I have been trying to find a solution for weeks now.
Any help appreciated.
