Synology - PiHole Configuration

This is to create a MAC vlan on you synology to bridge interfaces

You will need to create the following folders from the main docker folder.

docker/pihole
docker/pihole/pihole
docker/pihole/dnsmasq.d

My testing vlan uses 192.168.253.0/24

sudo docker network create -d macvlan -o parent=eth3 --subnet=192.168.253.0/24 --gateway=192.168.253.1 --ip-range=192.168.253.44/32 ph_network
