Archivebox with Pihole

Hi, I want to setup Archivebox with Pihole via docker compose.

In Archivebox repo, there is a sample docker-compose.yml file with
commented pihole config
([https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/blob/dev/docker-
compose.yml](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/blob/dev/docker-
compose.yml)), but just uncommenting:

* \`services.archivebox.dns\`
* \`services.pihole...\`

doesn't seem to work => I get \`DNS\_PROBE\_FINISHED\_BAD\_CONFIG\`
when Archivebox tries to download the links.

Does anyone knows the correct docker compose config for working
Archivebox with Pihole?

I'll answer myself, this made it working:

```yml
version: '3.9'

services:
  archivebox:
    image: ${DOCKER_IMAGE:-archivebox/archivebox:dev}
    command: server --quick-init 0.0.0.0:8000
    ports:
    - 127.0.0.1:8000:8000
    volumes:
    - ./data:/data
    depends_on:
    - pihole
    dns:                                           # uncomment this
and pihole container below for ad-blocking during archiving
    - 172.20.0.53
    networks:
      archiveboxnet:
        ipv4_address: 172.20.0.6
    environment:
    - ALLOWED_HOSTS=*                   # restrict this to only accept
incoming traffic via specific domain name

  ### Example: To run pihole in order to block ad/tracker requests
during archiving,
  # uncomment this block and set up pihole using its admin interface

  pihole:
    image: pihole/pihole:latest
    ports:
    - 127.0.0.1:8090:80       # uncomment to access the admin HTTP
interface on http://localhost:8090
    - 127.0.0.1:53:53/tcp
    - 127.0.0.1:53:53/udp
    environment:
    - WEBPASSWORD=...
    - DNSMASQ_LISTENING=all
    volumes:
    - ./etc/pihole:/etc/pihole
    - ./etc/dnsmasq:/etc/dnsmasq.d
    dns:
    - 127.0.0.1
    - 1.1.1.1
    - 1.0.0.1
    networks:
      archiveboxnet:
        ipv4_address: 172.20.0.53

networks:
  archiveboxnet:
    ipam:
      driver: default
      config:
        - subnet: 172.20.0.0/24
```

The [`docker-compose.yml`](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/bl
ob/dev/docker-compose.yml) has now been updated with a fixed version
of the pihole config, it turns the pihole container needs a static IP
within the container subnet to be the resolver for archivebox.
