Currently have nice long docker compose file that hosts my PiHole V6 container (along with a bunch of other containers) however, reason i ask this question is because whenever I go to pull an updated image and recreate the container I experience about 20 minutes of no DNS resolution which to my knowledge is due to the NTP clock being out of sync.

What’s the best way to host a DNS sinkhole/resolver that can mitigate this issue?

Was thinking of utilizing Proxmox & LXC but I suspect I’ll get the same experience.


Update: Turns out PiHole doesn’t support two instances, I got both of them on separate devices also set the 2nd DNS server in my routers WAN & LAN DNS settings which did in fact split DNS between both instances however, I lost access to my routers web-ui, my Traefik instance & reverse proxies died and I lost all internet access.

So, don’t do what I did.

    spin up a second pihole docker and upgrade them separately so they can failover to the other one while upgrading.

    Think I’m going to take this advice and put it in action! Thank you!
