Looks like Pi-hole is working, but your devices are not using it.

Did you configure your router or your devices to use Pi-hole?

How do I configure my devices to use Pi-hole as their DNS server?

Three methods Generally, there are three different methods that will enable devices on your network to be protected by Pi-hole. 1. Define Pi-hole's IP address as the only DNS entry in the router Rationale Only is italicized here for a reason: Pi-hole needs to be the only DNS server because it intercepts queries and decides whether or not they should be blocked. If you have other DNS servers configured, you may be sent to the correct domain, bypassing Pi-hole completely. Because of this, we…

Please upload a debug log and post just the token URL that is generated after the log is uploaded by running the following command from the Pi-hole host terminal:

pihole -d

or do it through the Web interface:

Hi,

Can anyone please help me. I am tying to fix it from long time.

It is hard to debug without all the information.

Please post the information about how you started your container:

• Did you use a compose file (please post the file)?
• Did you use a docker run command (post the command)?
• Did you use only the Portainer web interface? We need details: which environment variables did you set? Are you using volumes or mounts (describe it)? Did you change any other option?

I installed pihole by following the steps in the videos as mentioned
url: How to Install Pi-Hole on Docker with Portainer - YouTube

My installation process:

• I have install my pihole as a container in portainer. And you can see all my pihole setting that i have put in portainer while installing in the below image

I didn't watch the video, but you are using the wrong port for DNS.

Looking at your screenshot, I see you set port 54:54.

This will point the host port 54 to the container port 54, but there is nothing in the container listening for port 54.

Inside the container only port 53 is used.
Also, how the devices will use Pi-hole if you set port 54? DNS uses port 53 by default.

Thank you so much. Now it is working. I changed my port to 53 and it is working properly now
