Check that pihole-FTL is configured with upstream servers or it will not function!

To set a specific password for the web interface, use the environment variable `FTLCONF_webserver_api_password`. If this variable is not detected, and you have not already set one via `pihole setpassword` in the container, then a random password will be assigned on startup, this will be printed to the log. Run `docker logs pihole | grep random` to find it.

[FTLDNS](https://docs.pi-hole.net/ftldns/in-depth/#linux-capabilities) expects to have the following capabilities available:
- `CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE`: Allows FTLDNS binding to TCP/UDP sockets below 1024 (specifically DNS service on port 53)
- `CAP_NET_RAW`: use raw and packet sockets (needed for handling DHCPv6 requests, and verifying that an IP is not in use before leasing it)
