  • what does not work:

    • i can not ping server.local (- for testing i have to stop the systemd-resolved.service to run the dnsmasq server, or else there are port collisions, but that should not be the problem i guess. I am happy to hear your solution :))
    • i can also not use ssh to log in to server.local, ip address works

    Have you added “server.local” as a DNS record in your dnsmasq container, pointing to your servers LAN IP? Sounds like dnsmasq isn’t resolving that name, which would lead to both of these ‘failures’.

    Why not both?

    My primary DNS is pihole on a rpi dedicated to the task; but I run a second instance of pihole via my main docker stack for redundancy. Should one or the other be unavailable, there’s a second one to pick up the slack.

    I just provide both DNS IPs to LAN clients via DHCP.

    Gravity Sync is a great tool to keep both piholes settings/records/lists in sync.






  • I work warehousing; no IT background, I just like to tinker with whatever. Have since I started breathing.

    I was a fairly casual pirate, grabbing movies/shows I couldn’t find elsewhere (or just couldn’t afford). Got into Plex/Emby for my first real exploration into self-hosting (if you don’t count SRCDS and/or Minecraft Server at like 13yo); and expanded my knowledge from there. Reverse Proxys, the ‘arrs’, DNS, Docker, VPNs, etc.

    Now a days, I’ve got 20+ services that I mostly access via a VPN I host, and I’m always interested in messing with new things :)
