I'm having the same issue as mentioned here Top client shows only one IP (which I don't even recognize) · Issue #135 · pi-hole/docker-pi-hole · GitHub
Where there's only a few clients in Pi-hole, while there should be many.
Running Pi-hole v5.10 (Docker tag 2022.05) in Docker 4.9 on macOS 12. Mac has fixed IP 192.168.96.6
. And there's on one client in Pi-hole with 172.X.0.1
where X
seems to change after a reboot. Also running Pi-hole in a Raspberry Pi at 192.168.96.5
without any issues. My router is set up with DHCP DNS Servers defined to both the Mac and RPi IP addresses. Blocking ads works perfectly, but the clients on Mac are weird.
My docker-compose.yml
:
version: "3"
# https://github.com/pi-hole/docker-pi-hole/blob/master/README.md
services:
pihole:
container_name: pihole

cap_add:

restart: unless-stopped # Recommended but not required (DHCP needs NET_ADMIN)
I want to keep using my router for DHCP, not the Pi-hole. What should I change to get individual clients, like I do get on the Raspberry Pi?

I ran into a similar issue to what you experienced. Your pi-hole needs to have its own NIC on your LAN subnet for reporting to work. Your pihole is reporting all clients under a single IP address because every query is coming into your container over your Docker host's network bridge which essentially acts as a NAT. Try creating a separate macvlan for your pi-hole container to reside on.

Thank you Netsnipe, that's very kind of you to share. Forgive my newbie understanding, but how do I reach the Pi-hole interface with your compose? Because currently the IP address is 192.168.96.6 so when I go to 192.168.96.6/admin in the browser, it opens the Pi-hole UI. Should it be 192.168.96.2/admin? That didn't work... Is the IP of the Mac mini the same? Should I be able to reach the UI from another computer on the same local network?
What does "ip_range: 192.168.96.0/25 # this must not overlap with your DHCP range" mean? My UniFi LAN is setup as 192.168.96.0/24. Do they overlap? Do I need to change something on the router?
