Hello,
Having an issue with my Docker container and Pi-hole, I keep hitting my rate limit, and then looking I have over a million queries in less than a minute.
not sure what is going on here any help is appreciated.
Why are you using this IP as upstream DNS?
PIHOLE_DNS_1=127.17.0.1
Also, did you manually set this nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf?
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97 Apr 5 11:59 /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.65.7
It is/was my understanding from 2 online sources talking about PiHole/windows/docker that
" DNS1 needs to be left as 127.17.0.1 in order for Pi-hole to work. If you’re curious, 127.17.0.1 is the IP address for Localhost (or in other words this computer ). You can change DNS2 and DNS3 to whatever you like."
the Nameserver I am unsure of. I don't ever remember configuring that
I just removed 127.17.0.1 and that seems to have resolved the issue with the insane queries.
For the Name Server, is this something that I should be worried about or need to resolve?
Thank you for your assistance!
Where did you read this?
I don't think DNS3 ever existed.
The old variables were DNS1 and DNS2. Since 2022, you should use PIHOLE_DNS_.
Maybe there are other errors (and outdated info) in this text.
I used the three sites and a guild as I am new to docker containers and was not finding a lot of info on them for beginners in windows:
