The hostility is a little unnecessary.

can you run pihole in VM? it would be practical for these weirdos that already use VM as a daily driver

Ok, so what I was trying to say was this…

Dude does most of their work out of a VM rather than the host, and asks if they can also run pihole in that VM. I was trying to say “yeah, but it’s a Linux app so either run docker from within the VM itself and run it as a container or spin up another separate VM”

But I agree. Not argument-worthy. There’s no grounds for ackchyually-ing here.

I meant you could run pihole as a container in docker on a windows VM if you really wanted to. Personally I run it on a docker instance and also on a dedicated LinuxVM on a seperate host for redundancy, but that’s probably overkill.

It was originally developed to run on a raspberry pi so most installers are Linux based. There is no installer for windows but you could run pinole on Docker Desktop in a VM.
