Thanks for the reply but as stated in my second post this problem was already solved by another user with the same problem after upgrading to v6.
Anyway i will not be upgrading to v6 for a long time until everything is fixed i understand i had to read all articles and patch notes beforehand but nothing in those notes mentioned anything about the following problems.
-
Home assistant integration is fully broken with V6 and nothing about this problem can be found in the patch notes. So reading the patch notes could not have prepared me for the fact this would break?
-
Hosts files is completely and utterly ignored by V6 no idea why and or how but yet again nothing about this problem in the patch notes?
-
All my recursive DNS options have been deleted as part of this upgrade so after upgrading and fixing the webGUI there was no working DNS resolver offcourse i could have used 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 in my router but this is not a solution for using recursive DNS with the pi-hole?
Please don,t take this the wrong way i love pi-hole and think the devs are great and all but like i said earlier and someone else also opted here it would have been nice if i typed "pihole -up" and the first message would have been something in the line of:
"please be aware that this update is seen as a major update and might change/reset or remove your configuration completely. please follow this link for more information and press N to cancel the update/upgrade process"
