Pulling older version

Help
1

Hi ,

I would like to pull down FTL version v5.17.1.
Can some advise how I can pull this version from MacOS with Docker v4.2.5?
Bash command would be good.

Thanks.
Chris.

If you are using Docker, you just need to pull the image containing the versions you want.

That said, there was never a FTL v5.17.1 (you can check here), but there is a Pi-hole core released with this version: Release v5.17.1 · pi-hole/pi-hole · GitHub

If you want the image with Pi-hole v5.17.1, you should use the image with tag 2023.05.2.
(FTL v5.23 - Web 5.20.1 - Core v5.17.1)

If you really want to use an image with the old FTL, there was a FTL v5.17.
In this case, you should use image 2022.09.2
(FTL v5.17 - Web v 5.14.2 - Core v5.12)

Hi rdwebdesign,

Thanks.
What would be the equivalent terminal command for the image with Pi-hole v5.17.1?
docker pull pihole/pihole ? --- what would be the option?

Cheers,
Chris.

You don't need to pull the image in a separate step.

Using the docker run command will pull the image and execute it.

Example:

docker run -d 
    --name pihole 
    -p 53:53/tcp -p 53:53/udp 
    -p 80:80 
    -v "./etc-pihole:/etc/pihole" 
    -v "./etc-dnsmasq.d:/etc/dnsmasq.d" 
    --restart=unless-stopped 
    --hostname pi.hole 
    -e TZ="America/Chicago" 
    -e FTLCONF_LOCAL_IPV4="<your_IP>" 
    -e WEBPASSWORD="<your_password>" 
    pihole/pihole:latest

Or you can run the container using a compose file:

Compose file example: 
version: "3"

# More info at https://github.com/pi-hole/docker-pi-hole/ 
# and https://docs.pi-hole.net/
services:
  pihole:
    container_name: pihole
    image: pihole/pihole:latest
    ports:
      - "53:53/tcp"
      - "53:53/udp"
      - "80:80/tcp"
    environment:
      TZ: 'America/Chicago'
      WEBPASSWORD: 'your_password'
      FTLCONF_LOCAL_IPV4: '<your_IP>'

    # Volumes store your data between container upgrades
    volumes:
      - './etc-pihole:/etc/pihole'
      - './etc-dnsmasq.d:/etc/dnsmasq.d'

    restart: unless-stopped

You can find more details in Pi-hole docker repository.
