First-install notes
- Use Pi-hole's URL and admin password When using the pihole6api helper, start it with your Pi-hole web address (such as https://pi.hole) and the Pi-hole admin password. If that password is missing or wrong, Pi-hole rejects the request and the helper can't read or change anything. source
- Install the Python helper with pip If your setup uses Python, install the helper with pip (Python's package installer) by running pip install pihole6api. It supplies the pihole6api package, and without it the scripts fail when they try to import it. source
- Use DoH exclusively Set DNS1 and DNS2 to 127.1.1.1#5153 to use DoH exclusively. Port 53 needs a custom br0/br1 network and unique IP, and Unraid DNS settings cannot point to the container IP. source

Common questions
How do DoH and DoT relate to Pi-hole?
Pi-hole answers DNS queries, while DoH and DoT focus on securing the DNS connection.
Has a self-hoster considered moving Pi-hole from an Unraid VM to Docker for DoH/DoT?
Yes, a user described running Pi-hole in a VM on Unraid and looking to move it to Docker after finding a Pi-hole container with DoH and DoT.
What quick remediation is suggested for persistent Pi-hole DNS issues?
Sometimes pihole restartdns can help. If it helps but the root cause is unclear, you can schedule it with a crontab to run after the problem, while still solving the root cause later.
What hardware-related issue has been reported with Pi-hole?
One user's cheap Wi-Fi dongle periodically stopped working until a reboot. They also had a dependency issue while re-setting up Pi-hole on ethernet that was easy to track down.
