Container PiHole configuration files special QNAP

Post by joselitoo »

Hi,

i have PiHole running on my NAS as a container. Works really nice so far. As Containers are not done for updates it will be deleting the old one and installing the new one.
My problem is that i will loose all my config that i´ve done to Pihole. I have read lots of articles but did not find any answer specific for QNAP.
Is there a way to save my current config?
If not, guess i have to fill out this stuff (image attached) Can someone explain what do i need to fill out here so next time i want to do an update i won´t loose my config?

thanks in advance!

You can use PiHole Teleporter (in Settings) to export/import all your settings.

I'm using an LXC container and all I ever do to update is to enter the container and type "pihole -up"

I just removed my raspberry pi device from my network and instead installed pi-hole in a container.
I had an unexpected shutdown and Container Station was stuck.

When I uninstalled Container Station and I expected to have to reinstall pi-hole, but when I reinstalled Container Station it asked me if I wanted to use the same pi-hole folder. I said yes, and it picked right up, pi-hole installation, password the same.
