This Guide is written based on the use of [[Proxmox-VE]] version 7.0 and more specifically [[Proxmox_LXC]]. These instructions should be adaptable to other situations.
===Container Creation===
====General====
*Unpriviliged container: checked
*Nesting: unchecked
====Template====
*Template: ubuntu-21.04-standard_21.04-1_amd64
====Disks====
*Disk Size (GiB): 4
====CPU====
Cores: 1
====Memory====
*Memory (MiB): 256
*Swap (MiB): 512
====Network====
*IPv4 Static
*IPv4 Gateway
====DNS====
*DNS Servers: 8.8.8.8 (Change to 127.0.0.1 post-install)
====Confirm====
*Start After Created: unchecked
===Container Tweaks===
====Options====
*Start at boot: yes
===Container First Run Steps===
Run Updates
<nowiki>apt update && apt full-upgrade -y</nowiki>
Add a sudo user
<nowiki>adduser sysop</nowiki>
<nowiki>usermod -aG sudo sysop</nowiki>
Cleanup The Container for some easy space savings.
<nowiki>apt autoremove -y && apt clean -y</nowiki>
=Pi-hole Installation=
==My Insights==
*It's good practice to have both 2 instances of Pi-hole, so you can update one at a time, and still have DNS for your home network. You can either follow this guide twice, or clone the container and run `pihole -r`
==Prerequisite Guide(s)==
[[Unbound]]
==Dependency Installs==
The only thing our template image doesn't provide that we'll need is curl.
<nowiki>sudo apt install -y curl</nowiki>
==Pi-hole Installation==
Start by running the installer one-liner:
<nowiki>curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash</nowiki>
"OK/Continue" your way to the `Upstream DNS Provider` page, and select "Custom". Here you should setup 2 Upstream DNS Servers created in the [[Unbound]] Guide.

"OK/Continue" your way to the end.

The installer will give you a web interface password, but we can set that in the cli right now.
<nowiki>pihole -a -p</nowiki>
==Web Interface Steps==
===Login===
===Web Interface Styling===
The first obvious step is to change the web interface to dark mode!

Settings -> API/Web-Interface.
===Web interface settings===
*I set mine to "Pi-hole midnight theme (dark)"

*I also like to uncheck the boxed layout option.

*Set your Administrator Email.

*Check "Colorful Query Log"

*Set Temperature Unit to Fahrenheit, though it won't matter much in LXC.
===DNS Settings===
*Interface listening behavior set to "Listen on all interfaces, permit all origins"
==CLI Steps==
===Plex Media Server===
If you run into Issues with Plex and DNS Rebind
<nowiki>nano /etc/dnsmasq.d/02-plex.conf</nowiki>

<nowiki>
rebind-domain-ok=/plex.direct/
</nowiki>
