Pihole Deployment With Synology Container Manager (DSM 7.2)

Pihole deployment with Synology container manager is in certain cases much easier and more customizable than the old fashion way. no more running scripts or needing to use SSH commands.

Pihole is a great tool to filter out annoying ads and with adding additional lists, pihole can also filter out privacy violating sites, malware sites, etc. Pihole deployment with Synology container manager is definitely something i recommend to all Synology owners.

With the new DSM 7.2 container manager package, you can create containers the old fashion way but now, we have the option to use standard docker compose configurations with east. Pihole deployment with Synology container manager with docker compose is the topic of this video.

Pihole deployment with Synology container manager, much like any other containers you might deploy with container manager, can start with docker compose file you find online with ease and just modify the configuration based on your needs. yes, it does require some YAML understanding but its not difficult to understand.

As promised, here is the site i used to add lists into my pihole instance after I deployed with Synology container manager:
