PiHole is a fantastic system and works really well.

The only issue I have is its installer works on a bare system. I prefer to use the Pi as a multi purpose system: for home-assistent, as unifi controller and for pi-hole. It will costs you some time to get it running with all the pi-hole features (auto update and so on) operational.

Did you describe the steps you took to make it run on a such a system? I would be interested as well as long as I dont need to get another Pi :)

Install raspbian, install docker:

Then install pi-hole inside docker:

https://hub.docker.com/r/diginc/pi-hole/

Obviously port 53 needs to be mapped externally - port 80 inside the container you can map to something else, and then use nginx on the host to redirect to that port.

You can run it inside an LXD or docker container.
