I can't wrap my head around docker at all. Tried a pi-hole container on Ubuntu but failed miserably.

DNS containers are a little trickier than most. Pi-Hole will run on a pi-zero and so will Adguard Home. I would recommend a dedicated device like a pi 0,3,4 to run your dns server on. Hell if you know how to use Termux you can install Adguard Home on an old android device. I tried it and it works flawlessly. I have Adguard installed directly on my router now days though.

I plan to make easy to follow tutorials in this sub so everyone can enjoy self hosted services with docker. Requests are welcome.

If you've ever used something like virtualbox, that's all docker is, really. You can specify stuff like installing packages, or starting programs, expose ports, in a Dockerfile. You build an image from a Dockerfile. Then you can start "containers" off of the image (starting the virtual machine).

Docker has lots of caveats, but, for the most part, it works pretty well.

I understand VM's I just don't understand how dockers/containers are created how does the file create a container? I am getting old in the tech field... "back in my day" etc... kids with their clouds and containers.
