Does anyone run freedombox on the same pi as pihole? How well does it work?

Today I installed it via terminal. I can reach webconfig of Pihole, but it can´t see any client or queries. I suspect that is somehow related with FBX that queries are not recorded and processed.
I am running PiHole and FBX on separate nodes in my home network.
@freebox: Running it on the same server as FBX may have side-effects since FBX comes with Apache/PHP itself and tweaks all kinds of configuration. It may be worth a try, though (with backups prepared, of course ^^). There is the option to run PiHole as docker container which may make parallel usage easier - that would reduce conflicts to host ports only.
The important bit is that you need to configure your home router / DHCP server to advertise PiHole as the DNS resolver. Otherwise clients may not be using it - this could be the cause why @Malakay is not seeing any requests. PiHole can also act as DHCP server itself. But in either case your network configuration must tell clients to use it.

I already solved it. All the problem is that in default setting there is not opened port 53 for accepting DNS requests. Thats all 
I installed it via bash automatically with command
curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash
Then after installation I enabled port 53 for DNS service via Cockpit. Last thing was to edit port number, which collides with apache. Instead port 80 I used 8080 I think. This can be edited via VIM in /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
