    2. Access web interface:
       {% if network_enabled and network_mode == 'macvlan' -%}
       http://{{ network_macvlan_ipv4_address }}
       {% elif traefik_enabled -%}
       {% if traefik_tls_enabled %}https{% else %}http{% endif %}://{{ traefik_host }}
       {%- elif ports_enabled -%}
       http://localhost:{{ ports_http }}
       {%- endif %}

    3. Login password: {{ pihole_webpassword }}

    {% if network_enabled and network_mode == 'macvlan' -%}
    4. Configure devices to use {{ network_macvlan_ipv4_address }} as DNS server
       {% if dhcp_enabled %}Configure DHCP in Settings > DHCP{% endif %}
    {%- elif ports_enabled and dns_enabled -%}
    4. Configure devices to use Docker host IP as DNS server (port 53)
       {% if dhcp_enabled %}Configure DHCP in Settings > DHCP (port 67){% endif %}
