pihole-speedtest VS docker-pi-hole

A brief history: At first everything was working just fine but my speedtest that was installed on the pihole console was not working correctly. I ran a bunch of updates (since I neglected to do so for a year) but still the speedtest was still showing that the test were running every hour but most of them were returning all zeros for up/down/ping. I went through a couple of forums and tried to reinstall my server that runs the admin page (I think it was lighttpd) and then it all hit the fan.

Every so often I do something to my pi’s and need to rebuild my pihole set up, I always consider “well do I really need it?” “That is how webpages provide free stuff, do I want to take it away?” “I am doing other things for privacy do I need this to?” This most recent time that my pihole set up died on me I started getting bombarded with ads for places and things that I would never consider, then some things happened scaring me about my ID was stolen again I stepped up my security and reset up my pihole setup. I have two pi’s both running pihole, one as my primary and one as my secondary both are synced together with https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync. I have a poop load of block lists, but I have a white list that grows every so often as I find new ways to block things ads while not blocking services. (my most recent addition to the whitelist is Facebook, I like Facebook and don’t want to give it up.) I use Pihole unbound https://www.wundertech.net/use-unbound-to-enhance-the-privacy-of-pi-hole-on-a-raspberry-pi/ set up on both my pi’s, at one point in time I had https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/cloudflared/ running on my system. I suggest unbound and definitely not both, as I understand when running both it takes the best parts out of the other. When I find the ad lists, black lists, and white lists that are working for me I make sure to back them up. In settings there is the teleporter where you can save everything and store it where ever you want. I have been trying but failing at getting the speedtest add on working but my past few installs haven’t liked it, yeah I break things trying to do things often! https://github.com/arevindh/pihole-speedtest, I think I will try reinstalling the add on?Every so often I do something to my pi’s and need to rebuild my pihole set up, I always consider “well do I really need it?” “That is how webpages provide free stuff, do I want to take it away?” “I am doing other things for privacy do I need this to?” This most recent time that my pihole set up died on me I started getting bombarded with ads for places and things that I would never consider, then some things happened scaring me about my ID was stolen again I stepped up my security and reset up my pihole setup.

Have you tried following the uninstall instructions? https://github.com/arevindh/pihole-speedtest/wiki/Uninstalling-Speedtest-Mod

I don't know if this'll answer your second question, but both are running PiHole, Unbound, the Ookla Speedtest-CLI, and the pihole speedtest mentioned in https://github.com/arevindh/pihole-speedtest

Yesterday I deployed the official pi hole docker container on my raspberry pi 3 and set a custom DNS address on my phone addressing to the pi.

You could have a look at docker and try to run a more recent Ubuntu image on the Nano https://github.com/pi-hole/docker-pi-hole

My advice would be either use the docker-pi-hole documentation/quick start, or contact the content creator.
