I had the same issue with my primary PiHole running on a separate host at 192.168.178.10 and the secondary PiHole running in Docker on unRAID running on 192.168.178.20.

Initially, OrbitalSync was configured in Bridge mode (sharing the IP with my unRAID machine) and, as such, didn't have access to 192.168.178.20.
Once I changed the OrbitalSync container to also run on the Host Network (br0 in unRAID), it started working, and the log now finally shows the upload.

I really appreciate the response. So I did this this (and I think I did previously as well) and this is what I get in the logs on repeat.

Any suggestions?

It looks like whatever setup you had first was at least able to connect to your primary server, but now that's not working anymore. Are both your PiHole instances running on unRAID? If not, which one is running on another device?

[mattkwi]

So pi-hole 1 is unraid docker container and pi-hole 2 runs on a small nuc running ubuntu. OrbitalSync is also unraid docker container. Both pi-hole 1 and OrbitalSync are using network br0 at the moment. Both IPs and passwords are correct.

[RauchenwaldC]

I have it the other way around. My primary PiHole is running on a Raspberry Pi (since I'd like my primary DNS server to be online when unRAID is offline for whatever reason) using the IP address 192.168.178.10.
OrbitalSync and PiHole on unRAID are both on br0.
OrbitalSync has the fixed IP 192.168.178.3 assigned (although I doubt that matters since it doesn't have any ports mapped to it), and PiHole 192.168.178.20.

Technically it should work the way you have it right now as well, since OrbitalSync should be able to access both PiHole servers.

How about your Docker settings in Settings > Docker?

[mattkwi]

That is my reason for the 2 pi-holes as well, so I can pull down the unraid server or tinker without losing internet. All my devices transfer over automatically since router gives out both addresses. This seems to work well and I really don't have any issues with the pi-holes themselves. Anyhow, yes I am not sure why it is not working, but I do appreciate the assistance. I do not have an IP assigned to OrbitalSync, but like you said, no ports are mapped.
