Failing to update FTL to 4.0 - A small collection of fixes

General
1

Like several users I was having trouble updating FTL to 4.0. Couldn't connect to github.com. Searching this forum, below are the three 'fixes' I found and the order in which I did them that finally got me updated to 4.0. After each step I would check if I could update, if it didn't work, I went to the next.

  1. In /etc/init.d/pihole-FTL, change

su -s /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/pihole-FTL" "$FTLUSER"

to

/usr/bin/pihole-FTL

  1. change local name server in /etc/resolv.conf from 127.0.0.1 to 1.1.1.1

  2. Run the following update command

pihole checkout master

hope this helps someone
