DHCP strands for dynamic host control protocol. It is a server that assigns dynamic IP addresses to devices on the network which request it.

So the pi takes over dchp and assigns itsself as a DNS server? I assume if I want to assign static IPs I have to do it through the pi from then on?
Can’t use pihole because I’m running NixOS on my pi and the only way to run it is via docker container (which melts down my system, believe it’s trying to emulate x86 for some reason)
