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?

    I haven’t been able to figure this out either, my dashboard is just links to my other containers with no obvious way to get at the juicy stats.

      You can get access to most of them by setting them all to use the bridge network (network_mode: bridge). Then if you inspect the bridge network, you can see the bridge network ip’s of them all and use that for Heimdall. The Pi-Hole is an exception though since it requires a different network.

    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

        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
