Pi-hole acts as a Domain Name System (DNS) server that will intercept any incoming or outgoing DNS requests and will allow or block specific domains from accessing your devices.  This works to keep your computers and other devices safe from online ads.  I won&#8217;t get into topic of ad blocking and its affect on monetary means.  This post is just about utilizing docker and Pi-hole.   You can download Pi-hole <a href=\"https:\/\/pi-hole.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My current NAS drive doesn&#8217;t support docker so I downloaded <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.docker.com\/products\/docker-desktop\" target=\"_blank\">docker<\/a> to my desktop and install the software.  Pi-hole provides a script to run making it easy to use with docker.  After running Pi-hole for less that two days, the dashboard provided some useful data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.siematry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screen-Shot-2020-06-03-at-11.33.42-PM.png?fit=900%2C263&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-485\"\/><figcaption>Pi-hole Dashboard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since I am running the application from my laptop, I am unable to unleash the full potential so I will be installing it on another server.  Hopefully that will allow me to test the full power of Pi-hole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check it out for yourself and let me know your experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I decided to take a test drive of Pi-hole at home.
