Did exactly that setup at home a few weeks back. Would not recommend doing it this way. There are some common synology apps that will take up those ports and you will not even be able to start your pi-hole container. Pi-hole devs say it is recommended to keep port 80 available and synology DHCP server is taking up both port 53 and 67 even if you only run DHCP service without DNS. The alternative is slightly more involved but well worth it. Try a cusom compose file with its own ip address on the network. Way easier to manage. Check this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/synology/comments/gmfta3/pihole_5_on_synology_using_docker_simplified_with/

Will make a note of it. I have no plans to run that many services on the synology, esp. dhcp, and dns is the only port that can't be moved through the gui. DHCP doesn't matter for the pihole guest sharing the IP with the host, only the dns port. Excellent find, though. I was dreading having to write this up in case someone was one of those edge cases. Initially I had setup the pi hole with a dedicated IP, but the video was too complex I thought.

I'm a network engineer with several years of experience with docker. If you're going to use cli use docker-compose. Its wonderful, you're welcome.

I'm currently running my Pi-hole on a 3B+, but I might move it to my FreeNAS now that you mention it... Thanks for the vid!

Ohhhh I miggt have to get one of those new Pi-4 that just came out,I hear they have 8gb of RAM now! I'm just a noob,but ive learned so much about networking,playing with raspberry pi's. I've even put DD-WRT on my old router,this shit is fun,I love being able to take control of my own network etc. Im trying to run a pfSense box now, maybe ill try pi hole on there, great videos! Keep it up!
