I am considering swapping my dhcp server to my pihole.
Before I do can someone please clarify what gateway this field is referring to?
My main asus (RT-AC86U) gateway is 192.168.1.105. My pihole 192.168.1.215
I assume I complete this field with 192.168.1.105 as it will still operate as the gateway router but not dhcp anyore?
Thanks
Think I just found the answer -
Why is a default gateway important for Pi-hole? - FAQs - Pi-hole Userspace
So yes 192.168.1.105 for the pihole gateway.
Makes sense - PPPoe gateway to the internet (via ISP bridge).
Encountered 2 issues switching over:
There was a problem applying your settings.
Debugging information:
PHP error (2): fsockopen(): unable to connect to 127.0.0.1:4711 (Connection refused) in /var/www/html/admin/scripts/pi-hole/php/FTL.php:47
and
FTL failed to start due to process is missing required capability NET_ADMIN pihole
Fixed with NetAdmin switched on (portainer)
Next hurdle lost access to most devices:
Warning in dnsmasq core
no address range available for DHCP request via eth0
Just to save you some waiting, the devs are going to request a Debug Log from you so you might want to go ahead and submit one. Navigate to Tools > Generate debug log, then submit the token it generates for their review.
I take it you are running your Pi-hole as a Docker container?
Depending on your chosen Docker network mode, Docker would isolate a container into a separate network, i.e. by default, Docker's network isolation would prevent that your clients' broadcast for a DHCP server would reach a DHCP server inside a Docker container.
You should consider reading the suggestions from Docker DHCP and Network Modes - Pi-hole documentation to get Pi-hole's DHCP server operational under Docker.
You got it yep.
Great I'll have a read of that later - thanks
All sorted now thanks
Yes changed bridge to host , also net_admin added and viola!
dhcp working perfectly. All clients directing to pihole and more accurate data coming in.
Been running overnight perfectly. Just one question.
I see some devices have the host name (piholelan) appended and some don't.
Is this because the ip hasn't renewed yet? (24 hour lease)
Thanks
I see now only the ip static assignments are appended with the host name
