I have two instances of pi-hole running for testing. One is V5 and the other is V6. I noticed something that is more of a nag vs a bug and I wondered if it was intentional. In V% when you add a client to the network from the drop down, that client disappears from the list when you go back tot he drop down. In V6 this is not the case. It makes it hard to remeber what you added and what you didn't when setting up your lists. Is there a setting I missed or is this supposed to be this way?
Anyone?
I can confirm the behavior. This is not intentional, but likely a side-effect of the new v6 FTL API implementation.
In v5 we had a function
which was not ported to v6.
@DL6ER
I think we would need a new endpoint /clients_unconfigured or an amendment to /clients with a 'unconfigured' bool parameter
Thanks for the reply. I didnt think that was intentional. Anyway, at least you have the report and I hope you guys get it figured out. BTW, I am really likeing V6 a alot.
The /clients/_suggestions
endpoint is already documented to return unconfigured clients so we don't need a new but can modify/fix the existing endpoint IMO.
Please see FTL branch fix/client_suggestions
. As v6 prefers to select clients on MAC address basis to work reliably also when IP addresses are not stable in your network (keyword here: cheap/non-deterministic DHCP routers). Clients which are using "mock" hardware addresses (such as "ip-1.2.3.4
") may need some extra hand-holding, I haven't had time yet to build up such a configuration for testing right now.
