I am building a home server just for fun and for the learning experience. This is my first time, so I am relatively new to all of this. The plan is to run things like pi-hole and Nextcloud and a few other things.
For that, I decided to try to run everything inside its own Podman container on my alma linux server. At first, I tried to install everything directly on the server, but then I got into trouble because multiple services wanted to use the same port (after I found out what all these things are ;) ), and then I read about Podman and thought that might solve my problems.
I followed a tutorial online and installed pi-hole via
podman run -d --name pihole -e TZ="Europe/Zurich" -e WEBPASSWORD="********" -p 192.168.0.188:5300:53/tcp -p 192.168.0.188:5300:53/udp -p 192.168.0.188:8000:80 -v "/srv/pi-hole:/root:z" --restart=on-failure pihole/pihole:latest
I can then access pihole via 192.168.0.188:8000/admin from my browser. But now I am stuck, because I don't know how to connect for example my phone to it. My router does not allow using my own dns, so I figured that I had to connect all my devices by myself to the pihole.
I can do this if I just install the pi-hole directly on my server (go to settings and put my server ip there), but I don't know how to do this when I install it in the podman container (putting server ip in settings does not work).
Does anybody know how I can solve this?
Ps: This is my first time using such a forum, so please give me your feedback on whether I use it correctly. Thanks
Solved: I maped the 53 udp/tcp from the server directly to 53 inside of the container. Now everything works fine.
