It still shouldnt break all the time. You shouldnt havr to get good at debugging a tool like this. I use but it dors destroy my network once a month and have had to build cleanup/reinstall scripts for this scenerio. I would not recommend to most people.

Did you not give the pihole a static address or something? What is breaking?

Then there's something wrong with your network. All it does is serve DNS.

pihole is one of the most straightforward pieces of software out there. It is so easy to use that it is practically an appliance.

What do you mean 'destroys your network'? It's just a DNS server - maybe something else is wrong and the presence of the pihole is a coincidence?

Don't know about your network - but I have been running it for years without any issue, just a docker pull to update the containers once a while
