I wonder why so many people had issues with the v6 pihole update.
I pulled the new docker container and it ran overtop the previous version just fine. The only issue I had was I had the admin password set to empty via an env variable and that variable name changed. Took like 10 min to find and fix. The rest migrated perfectly.
Now I'm just waiting on orbital-sync to add v6 support, but that's just around the corner and not that critical.
Hmm, I wonder if the failed updates are only direct installs vs docker.
I run two piholes, a primary on a rpi 3b running pios, and a secondary on my main server. Both are installed via docker and both updated without issue (besides the password thing).
I like having the primary DNS on a separate machine; it's kind of important and I like to mess with the main server a lot...
I definitely recommend it, particularly using docker compose. It's made it incredibly easy to add, remove, and modify software installs; keeping everything independent and isolated from each other.
This also makes backups and rolling back updates to individual projects much easier when you do run into problems.
