How did you get it to connect to your Pi? I’m hitting a lot of issues on that.

I’m running homepage in Docker and my pi is another machine on my network. But the container doesn’t see the Pi at all. Can you provide any insight?

Hey! IM going to post my config below, excuse the formatting if it comes out really messed up, im totally unsure how Lemmy is going to handle this.

- Pihole:
    icon: pi-hole.png # This is the icon that will be displayed on the widget
    href: Link to your PiHole login # Optional, but makes the widget clickable
    description: DNS Server/Ad-Blocker # Description of the service
    ping: IP_ADDRESS_PIHOLE # Options, but will ping the host and display latency
    widget:
        type: pihole # This is required by Homepage to define the type of widget 
        url: http://IP_ADDRESS_PIHOLE
        key: REDACTED # This is an API key generated on the PiHole

Here is the link I used for obtaining the API key. https://pi-hole.net/blog/2022/11/17/upcoming-changes-authentication-for-more-api-endpoints-required/#page-content

Let me know if you have any issues!

Thanks. I've done this (even getting my API key) but the issue I'm running into is the fact that the Docker container doesn't see the Pi-Hole machine. I believe it's a networking issue, but I don't know how to figure out how to get it to see it. Is there a networking flag I need to include in Homepage's Docker Compose? That seems to be my issue.

Im not sure, I am also running Homepage in a docker container, I am able to connect to my pi-hole just fine. From the information I have, it seems like a networking issue.

I agree it’s a networking problem. The issue I have is I don’t know how to fix it.

I installed Portainer and figured out how to get the container onto my network. But then it was unreachable. So I’m more lost the more I try to figure this out.

Are you using any specific network commands in your docker compose? Are you running specific networking in the container? I’m trying to figure out how it’s working for you and what likely obvious thing I’m missing. Thanks.
