balena-pihole: pihole doesn't respond to DNS queries without container restart

After a full restart of my RPi3 (shutdown and power off/on), pihole doesn’t respond to DNS queries until I restart the pihole container again. Logs/testing output below:

Logs from power-on:

Sounds fair - I might update the docs to put a caveat in as well instructing people to enable portfast (and pointing them to this novel) if they encounter issues. I figure if people have a switch capable of portfast then they’ll know what it means.

I don’t see the need for multiple images, if a user application requires certain features to be available at startup, that’s usually trivial to add a condition to the container, vs maintaining and entire separate image for a minor change in a service file.

Yeah, that makes perfect sense - Thanks for the explanation!

I love this:

“Warning: Making changes to the networking of a device is extremely dangerous and can lead to a device being unrecoverable, so exercise caution with any of the following.”

You should do those masterclasses and ask questions like this on the forums so others can see your answers and we can improve our docs!

I really should. Look man, I’ve had the tab open in my browser since you told me about it 😃

The dtoverlay branch has been rebased on main so feel free to use that until we confirm the fbcp changes.

Could you try the following when you get a chance?

Yep - I assume you want the script removed prior to testing, right?

I’ve been thinking about this one. Host networking effectively binds * to *, right? Earlier you had me specify LAN_IP so we wouldn’t step on the 53 binding that Balena VPN needed. Wouldn’t they be fighting over it with host networking enable? (maybe leading to my problem?)

I think the issue is in this area, yes. The dnsmasq conf entry we are adding is supposed to ensure dnsmasq only binds to the interfaces we specify (eth0 in this case) and up until now no one has reported any issue with that not working as intended.

I pinged the whole balena team internally so I may have some suggestions by tomorrow. I’m also hoping that if we can get the container to bind to 53 on all interfaces the device logs will give us a clue as to where the conflict is.

Oh, good - A few things to try today. Thank you! I’ll re-run the pihole debugs first to make sure I didn’t miss anything, and then I’ll decide which order to try the rest in.

Did I read the last main commit correctly? Is it all caught up and safe for me to use now?

Nope, hasn’t been merged yet - I’ll keep using dtoverlay.
