I had a smooth Docker migration. I didn't have to redo anything, almost. Unbound and all is running well.

For those running it in Docker, there were some changes that needed to be made, explained here:

https://hub.docker.com/r/pihole/pihole

Some are having issues with privileged mode enabled.

Are you also running something like Orbital Sync?

Been using Pi-hole for years. Love it.
But, now my new ASUS router has a built in AdGuard DNS service.
So my Pi-hole is finally retired

No. I don't have that need.

I run both. I use AdGuard to manage DNS.

I need to sunset my gravity-sync then spin up Orbital or Nebula sync when i upgrade to V6

Any specific reason you use Adguard for DNS versus your router?

There are two separate networks here. It is a matter of preference for my home lab. I have a default, or well, config for Unbound too. The main internet just uses Cloudflare (DoH) that is configured on RouterOS.

I have ZeroTier configured, but don't use it.

Started the process - updated one of the pihole nodes and it seemed to go ok - but it wasnt resolving DNS properly. Also managed to setup Orbital sync and this was working on pihole v5. But something broke when i tried to update the second node to v6. Eventually took everything down and am using my router for DNS until i can figure it out

I can't believe I never thought of using AdGuard DNS direct on the router.

Since I started using Proton VPN and having Netshield enabled I have had no need for separate ad blockers on our devices.
