Pi-Hole on Raspberry Pi all models using Docker

In this segment, we are going to show you how to “Install Pi-Hole on Raspberry Pi B Plus with the help of Docker

What is Pi-Hole?

Pi-hole is a Linux network-level advertisement and Internet tracker blocking application which acts as a DNS sinkhole (and optionally a DHCP server), intended for use on a private network. It is designed for use on embedded devices with network capability, such as the Raspberry Pi, but it can be used on other machines running Linux and cloud implementations.
Pi-hole can block traditional website adverts as well as adverts in unconventional places, such as smart TVs and mobile operating system adverts.
