Don't change the port during an update

[2Fake]

Hi,

every time after an update of pihole i have to change to port of pihole back to my port.
Is there any need to change it every time back to 80?

HTTP requests go to port 80, so to return an empty page for ads, we need to listen on port 80.

As @Mcat12 said, pi-hole has to have port 80 to serve a transparent pixel in place of http ads.
You could run either of the two on another network interface/IP?

Detect non-standard lighttpd port during update

I run lighttpd for pihole admin on a non-standard port (eg. 8080). Every time I update pihole with "pihole -up" it resets the server.port configuration setting in /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf to use port 80, which means that the service won't restart and I have to go and manually update the lighttpd config. Since pihole updates are frequent, it'd be really nice if the update process could detect whether lighttpd is running on a port other than 80 and NOT change the server.port setting if so.
