umbrel@umbrel:~ $ pihole -v  
-bash: pihole: command not found  
umbrel@umbrel:~

I have ssh into my RPi using Umbrel. I have opened the phole app…and want to change the password…and update the app…but when I issue any pihole command, it ends in a pihole command not found. What am I doing wrong please?

- you need to access the docker instance in which your pihole is running.

_docker ps | grep pi-hole_  
_umbrel@umbrel:~ $ docker ps | grep pi-hole_  
_ **d888735dce65** pihole/pihole:2022.11 “/s6-init” bla bla bla …_

- run a shell on your docker instance:  
_docker exec -it **d888735dce65** /bin/bash_

- run any pihole command as usual.
