Help

Hi ...

I can reach the login page on port 8080 but even after changing the password, I can't login ...

Anything I should check ??

Please upload a debug log and post just the token URL that is generated after the log is uploaded by running the following command from the Pi-hole host terminal:

pihole -d

or if you run your Pi-hole as a Docker container:

docker exec -it <pihole-container-name-or-id> pihole -d

where you substitute <pihole-container-name-or-id> as required.

I could get it working but only on port 8443, and with a TLS Cert warning ...

What would now be the lines to add/modify to the main config file so that I can use my own Cert & Key files ??

Thanks a lot !

See Pi-hole's documentation on Using your own certificate.

I did,,I followed the tutorial, but it's still not working ...

Pi-Hole 5 was way more easier to install with way less problems ...

I may think about downgrading cause the v6 is for now totally unuseful for me !

And why can't I use the Apache2 TLS/SSL certs ?? Would be way easier not to have to deal with certs within pihole ...

I don't understand why are you complaining about this

No one said you need to use TLS/SSL in Pi-hole.
You asked how to "use my own Cert & Key files" in Pi-hole and the link above is the answer.

If you don't want this, you don't need to do it. It's an option. Pi-hole v6 web interface is available over http, just like v5. We just added one more option.

Also you didn't post the requested debug log. Without this, we can't say why you can't access port 8080.

If you think it is easier to use apache2 for your certificates, just do it.

You never asked how to set a different port, but this is probably what you want.

You can configure Pi-hole to use http port with sudo pihole-FTL --config webserver.port '8888' and access it using http://pi.hole:8888/admin (this is just an example. You can use any port you like).

If you try this and still can't access the port, post a debug token.
