Not returning ips of Local DNS records

Help docker
1

I have a fresh install of pihole set up in a docker container in an Ubuntu droplet at Digital Ocean. I have logged in for the first time, set the password, and set a local DNS record for a server in my local network. when I nslookup though, specifically targeting my new pihole it is not returning the local DNS record.

nslookup pihole1.voh.haus 137.184.4.49
Server:		137.184.4.49
Address:	137.184.4.49#53

** server can't find pihole1.voh.haus: NXDOMAIN

It looks like ufw didn’t have port 53 open. I opened it and it is still not giving me the ip when I nslookup or dig it.

I am also not seeing the nslookup or dig in the pihole logs.

DON'T do this!

Close port 53 now!

You are running an open resolver.
Your server will be quickly found and abused.
