Pi-hole and Docker on MacOS to get rid of pesky advertising
When I’m at home I have setup a Raspberry Pi to run Pi-hole and block pesky advertising.
But. I am not always at home. I also bring my Macbook to work, customers, airports & hotels. I didn’t want to clutter up my system and install Pi-hole natively, so instead I used Docker
To make starting/stopping Pi-hole easier I created a small shell script:
1#!/bin/bash
2case "$1" in
3 install)
4 docker pull pihole/pihole
5 exit 0
6 ;;
7 start)
8 docker start pihole 2>&1 >/dev/null || docker run -d --name pihole -e WEBPASSWORD="Gloryhole" -e DNS1=1.1.1.1 -e DNS2=8.8.8.8 -p 53:53/tcp -p 53:53/udp -p 80:80/tcp -p 443:443/tcp pihole/pihole:latest 2>&1 >/dev/null
9 networksetup -setdnsservers Wi-Fi 127.0.0.1 1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
10 echo "Started Pihole"
11 exit 0
12 ;;
13 stop)
14 docker stop pihole 2>&1 >/dev/null
15 networksetup -setdnsservers Wi-Fi 1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
16 echo "Stopped Pihole"
17 exit 0
18 ;;
19 *)
20 echo "Usage: $0 <install|start|stop>" >&2
21 exit 1
22 ;;
