Pi Hole Raspberry Pi and Unraid
I have my Pi Hole running on a raspberry pi and homarr running on unraid. I entered the IP of the raspberry pi into the internal address and https://IP/admin as the external. API key has been added. The integrations are not working and the ping is showing unexpected response fetch failed. Is it possible to get it working with the instance of Pi Hole not running on unraid?

Hi @zerocool1100 , please check if Unraid is using the PiHole DNS. Otherwise, the hostname won't be resolving.
Updated unraid to pi hole dns. No change so far. Can confirm Unraid is showing as a client of pi hole.
Make a lookup from inside the container to check
If it doesn't resolve inside the container, Homarr won't be able to reach it
Added “— dns pi hole ip” to extra parameter of Homarr docker. No change. Was that what you wanted me to do?
Open the terminal of the container and look up the hostname pi.hole

How to Use Linux dig Command (DNS Lookup) {With Examples}
This comprehensive guide on the Linux dig command (with examples) covers all you need to know to lookup DNS information. Get stated now!
I am honestly not sure what I need to do, when I open the terminal from the homarr container and try any type of dig command nothing happens. Example response sh: 1: dig: not found. When I use the unraid terminal I get responses. Pi Hole is not in a container on my server it is hosted on a seperate raspberry pi.
Sorry this stuff is completely out of my personal experience
Can you do a curl or wget from the container? Sorry, I wasn't aware what commands are available in the container image
@Tag can you maybe add a new page on the documentation, that gives some debugging commands like wget, curl, ping, ... and how to use them?
