How to self-host Pi-hole

Pi-hole can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what Pi-hole does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, dependencies, and where to find the original compose template.

If you searched for Pi-hole Docker, Pi-hole Docker Compose, or self-host Pi-hole, this page is the direct landing page for that app in Yantr's catalog.

After deployment, Yantr also lets you publish additional ports later from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use mappings like 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random host port for container port 8080.

Use Cases

What people run it for

Block ads and tracking across your entire home network by configuring your router to use Pi-hole as its DNS server.

Monitor what domains your devices are connecting to using the real-time query log and statistics dashboard.

Replace your router's DHCP server with Pi-hole's built-in DHCP to automatically direct all devices through ad blocking.

Speed up your network and reduce bandwidth usage by blocking tracking and advertising domains before they load.
