- Docker's default network mode `bridge` isolates the container from the host's network. This is a more secure setting, but requires setting the Pi-hole DNS option for _Interface listening behavior_ to "Listen on all interfaces, permit all origins".
- If you're using a Red Hat based distribution with an SELinux Enforcing policy, add `:z` to line with volumes.

Modern releases of Ubuntu (17.10+) and Fedora (33+) include [`systemd-resolved`](http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man8/systemd-resolved.service.8.html) which is configured by default to implement a caching DNS stub resolver. This will prevent pi-hole from listening on port 53.
Modern releases of Ubuntu (17.10+) and Debian (12+) include [`systemd-resolved`](http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man8/systemd-resolved.service.8.html) which is configured by default to implement a caching DNS stub resolver. This will prevent pi-hole from listening on port 53.
The stub resolver should be disabled with: `sudo sed -r -i.orig 's/#?DNSStubListener=yes/DNSStubListener=no/g' /etc/systemd/resolved.conf`.

This will not change the nameserver settings, which point to the stub resolver thus preventing DNS resolution. Change the `/etc/resolv.conf` symlink to point to `/run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf`, which is automatically updated to follow the system's [`netplan`](https://netplan.io/):

Users of older Ubuntu releases (circa 17.04) will need to disable dnsmasq.

## Installing on Fedora
Modern releases of Fedora (33+) include systemd-resolved, which is configured by default to implement a caching DNS stub resolver. This may conflict with Pi-hole's DNS server by preventing it from listening on port 53. To avoid this conflict, you need to disable the DNS stub resolver.

Run the following commands to free port 53 and allow pihole to run:
1. Ensure the directory /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d exists.
2. Create a configuration file (/etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/10-pihole.conf) to override the default settings.
3. Add the DNSStubListener=no directive, which disables the local DNS stub listener.
4. Restart `systemd-resolved` to apply the new configuration.
```
[ -d /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d ] || sudo mkdir /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d
echo '[Resolve]' | sudo tee /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/10-pihole.conf
echo 'DNSStubListener=no' | sudo tee -a /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/10-pihole.conf
sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved
```

Note that by default in Fedora, `/etc/resolv.conf` already points to `/run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf`, so DNS resolution continues to work even when the stub listener is disabled.
