[SUPPORT] pihole for unRaid - Spants repo

[Hellomynameisleo]

any idea why I am getting this error when trying to query the log dates? I have setup a new pihole, just modified the http and https ports to 6000

I am having this weird issue where if i start the pihole docker, it changes the ip address of my entire server which messes with the already established dhcp reservation that i had set for it before hand. I thought that the pihole would count as its own device but in my router settings it does not appear as such. a little help would be appreciated.

Anyone is able to reach Pihole through Unraid wireguard?

My pihole docker is getting quite large - the container is 9.2 GB and the Writable column is 8.89GB.  How do I troubleshoot this and see what the cause is?  The pihole-FTL.db file is about 3.4GB but that appears to be in appdata.

 

What could be causing this?

 

edit - I updated the pihole docker and that fixed the problem.  The size fell by over 95% to 328MB.  Leaving this comment here in case it helps someone in the future.

Thanks for this! Force update the container shrunk the container size from 5GB to 300MB.  It must be a log file or something that should be mapped to the appdata dir instead of inside the container.

I have an older unRAID server that was also getting the docker partition full problem.  I found a way to fix it on these forums - edit your docker and go into extra parameters.  Put this in --log-opt max-size=50m --log-opt max-file=1 as extra parameters and that is supposed to limit your logs to 50 MB each.

 

edit - Make sure that you have advanced mode turned on to see the extra parameters button.
