Pi-hole v6 will be an alpine-based container

pi-hole/docker-pi-hole#1430 (comment)

We should be prepared to make compatibility changes.

[eiddor]

Alpine or Android?

[eiddor]

If it's Alpine, it shouldn't be a big hairy deal - If it's Android, then...

[klutchell]

I was on my phone, it must have auto-corrected.

Yeah, I don't think we will need to change much except some of the packages we install, and the commands we run to set console fonts.

[eiddor]

Ok whew! Is it worth messing with the upstream Dockerfile and testing now or should we just wait until it actually happens?

[klutchell]

I think just wait, we are in no rush and it will be much easier knowing with confidence what we are working with.

It may be worth mentioning that the v6 container is now available for some time:

version: "3"
services:
 pihole:
   image: pihole/pihole:development-v6

[klutchell]

Good to know! If I get some time this holiday season I might draft an example PR with the required changes to support v6.

[klutchell]

@DL6ER are we also moving away from s6-overlay by the looks of it? I can go look up the exact changes myself when I dig into it but I high level view of the planned changes would be handy.

[DL6ER]

@PromoFaux is the docker master, he'd be the best to answer any questions

[PromoFaux]

Master is one word for it. Fake it till you make it I guess!

Yeah, s6-overlay is gone. We took the opportunity to do a complete overhaul - basing on alpine has been a long time goal, so it was a good time to start from scratch!
