Howdy Pi-Hole / Docker gurus!

Setting up a Docker / Pi-Hole for my Dad as a Christmas present as I have been running one for myself over the past year with no issues.

New Raspberry Pi 4 running Raspbian and Docker. I have successfully setup docker with Portainer for easy administration. Started setting up the Pi-Hole container, but can't access the admin page. This new pi-hole is on the same network as my existing (working) pi-hole.

The container successfully creates and runs as healthy. The new pi is running a static IP and all the services and logs appear normal. The following URLs fail:

https://172.16.253.97/admin
http://172.16.253.97/admin

I am not using the https://pi.hole as I already have a pi-hole on my network.

Seriously baffled on this one.

HALP!

Is there a reason you are running Pi-Hole in Docker on this device? It runs natively very well.

The admin web page is http, not https unless you have modified your installation.

How are you starting the container? What is the docker command that is being used? What ports are mapped to the container?

I don't really have a good reason for this, but I like the ability to create and destroy the containers at will in the event of a configuration change. Also, the watchtower container ensures that my containers stay up to date.

Strangely enough, I did test HTTP and HTTPS and both failed, but now HTTP works...sigh!
