Docker Pihole container on USB

RouterOS Containers
1

Dear all
I install pihole container on my MK RB5009 ( finally) and I think it’s working and as you know while pihole works on MK it’s takes up space from MK memory
When I tried to install pihole on usb and during extracting I get error!!!
Do you know what is wrong I made? I already format usb ext3 and ext4 but with no succeed
Now can I transfer all pihole data from internal storage to usb?
Thank you and best regatds

read the manual

Need to see output of system/disks/print.

Also need to see your container settings in their entirety. Don’t have access to my 5009 but believe /container/print might work.

You forgot to provide the output of system/disks/print.

Currently your container is set to use the router’s nand memory. Not USB.

I have the same problem, it seems that is a bug

It should be like that:

and disks:

I’ve made it work only after these steps:

  • create a container with rootDir on disk1/pull
  • Run container
  • After downloading and extracting, remove container
  • Flash disk with partition
  • Create a container with normal rootDir as manual says “disk1/pihole”
