Overview

This is basically a pi-hole container running in docker. It is meant to be run on a mobile device (e.g. a laptop) where you are likely to not be at home or at a friend's house who uses pi-hole already. Because you don't want to lug around your Raspberry Pi, router running pi-hole, or equivalent thin client DNS server, this can be run locally and you get all the benefit of pi-hole!
