I’ve got both Heimdall and Pi-Hole running in docker. They both work fine, but I’d like to get the Pi-Hole advanced statistics in Heimdall. The others, I just put on the bridge network, but I’m not sure I can have the Pi-Hole on bridge and the macvlan network. Is that possible, or is there a better way to accomplish this?
Why not? You can just connect the PiHole container to both networks and inter-container communication should work as usual. I haven’t tried this with PiHole specifically but I’ve done it with other services in the past
Maybe I just don’t know how… Do you have a compose script you could share?
Not for PiHole but I was testing this recently with traefik. This has a bunch of traefik stuff in there (I’m on mobile so it’s too hard to edit it) but hopefully you see how the networks work

This is great, thank you!
