Installing Pi-hole aka pihole

Once the installer has been run, you will need to set either your PC or your router to use Pi-Hole as their DNS server. Using it on your router ensures that all devices connecting to your network will have content blocked without any further intervention.
Log into your router’s configuration page and find the DHCP/DNS settings. Note: make sure you adjust this setting under your LAN settings and not the WAN set it to the IP of your Pi-hole.
As a last resort, you can always manually set each device to use Pi-hole as their DNS server.
Configuring your Pi-hole
Type your Pi-hole’s URL into your browsers address bar and include a /admin, for me that is http://192.168.8.42/admin
To do more you’ll need to log in with your password which you should have received during the install.

You can now run Docker and Pi-hole on Mikrotik (MIPS varient). Much better solution, with better overall control.
