Pi-hole on TrueNAS SCALE and port 53 issue

Hello,

since Truecharts is not a viable option anymore, I wonder if any of you got Pi-Hole working with port 53 on TrueNAS SCALE?

The Truecharts app, works fine with port 53, but since the repository is not there anymore, you can’t create new apps with it anymore. (Getting Started | TrueCharts Charts)

The app in TrueNAS charts doesn’t work on port 53 or am I missing something here?

A custom docker app is out of the questions, since I can’t assign a port lower than 9000.

Au contraire, a Custom App is exactly how you solve it.

Add a static IP address of your choice to your Custom app. It won’t have the above 9000 limit.

So the solution is to give the docker app a different IP other than TrueNAS. I give this a try later. Thanks.

While adding a new Custom app with static IP, I don’t have the options to add port forwarding.

After saving the new app and going into Edit mode, I can add the Port Forward, but again, the form validation prevents me to add a port below 9000.

Got it working.
Had to add static routes.
No port forward necessary.

No port forwarding should be necessary, since the app has it’s own IP.
