Practical guide for installing, configuring, and troubleshooting Pi-hole in homelab networks, including Docker installs, DoH upstreams, blocklist management, an
This skill documents step-by-step procedures to install and operate Pi-hole as a network-wide DNS ad blocker for home or lab networks. It covers Docker and bare-metal installs, DHCP integration, configuring upstream DNS-over-HTTPS proxies, recommended blocklists, and common troubleshooting commands. The guidance helps operators set up resilient DNS, manage false positives, and create local DNS records for internal services.
Use this skill when onboarding Pi-hole to a homelab or small office network: initial install, migrating DNS to Pi-hole, enabling DoH with cloudflared, handling devices that lose connectivity after enabling Pi-hole, or when creating local hostnames for services. Also useful for running Pi-hole in Docker and automating gravity updates.
Useful for automation/agents that can execute shell commands and manage Docker/system services (agents with shell/exec access). The guidance is OS-agnostic for Linux-based hosts and Raspberry Pi OS.
