The issue I am facing:
When I access my pi-hole admin page Red dot and show FTL Offline although every thing seems to be working as intended
Details about my system:
Running on an old android device, using linux-deploy to run Debian Buster and then installing pi-hole on Debian. Init is set as sysv
As far as I can tell there is no port conflict, the command sudo ss -tulpn | grep LISTEN returns:
tcp LISTEN 0 128 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* users:(("lighttpd",pid=25637,fd=4))
tcp LISTEN 0 32 0.0.0.0:53 0.0.0.0:* users:(("pihole-FTL",pid=25536,fd=5))
tcp LISTEN 0 128 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* users:(("sshd",pid=8235,fd=4))
tcp LISTEN 0 1 127.0.0.1:5023 0.0.0.0:* users:(("telnetd",pid=7839,fd=3))
tcp LISTEN 0 5 127.0.0.1:4711 0.0.0.0:* users:(("pihole-FTL",pid=25536,fd=15))

tcp LISTEN 0 5 [::1]:4711 *:* users:(("pihole-FTL",pid=25536,fd=11))
the command pihole status return:
[✓] DNS service is listening
[✓] UDP (IPv4)
[✓] TCP (IPv4)
[✓] UDP (IPv6)
[✓] TCP (IPv6)
[✓] Pi-hole blocking is enabled
the command sudo service pihole-FTL status returns:
[ ok ] pihole-FTL is running

What I have changed since installing Pi-hole:
Nothing besides this fix to make the admin-page work as it wasn't out of the box
sudo usermod -a -G aid_net_bt_admin,aid_net_bt,aid_inet,aid_net_raw,aid_net_admin root
sudo usermod -a -G aid_net_bt_admin,aid_net_bt,aid_inet,aid_net_raw,aid_net_admin pihole
sudo usermod -a -G aid_net_bt_admin,aid_net_bt,aid_inet,aid_net_raw,aid_net_admin www-data
Relevant and similar threads
FTL offline, Load is red in a Linux Deploy container on Android
SOLVED: Admin page shows FTL offline (and not connection to API), but FTL is running
These two are the most relevant that I've found but there are several others with the same or similar issue like this one:
Dashboard/FTL offline although no errors?
What do I expect from this thread?
Honestly I've already spend a couple days and many hours trying to figure this one, read many threads around the web.
So if I can't find and if no one knows a solution, I wonder does this issue really matter?
Everything else looks like it is working as intended so will this have any impact on my daily use of pi-hole or is this just a visual frontend bug/incompatibility of the exotic setup that I am using?
