FTL is offline after update to 4.0

@mon_dieu,
Can you confirm same output for the status command as in the other thread ?

@mon_dieu

$ sudo systemctl status pihole-FTL -l
Aug 16 22:19:37 matrix-sever pihole-FTL[363]: dnsmasq: cannot open or create lease file /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases: Permission d 

If so, the pihole-FTL binary probably cant access that file anymore as its running with user "pihole" privileges now instead of root privies like dnsmasq did before the Pi-hole version 4 update.
And that file is not part of the normal basic Pi-hole install.

grep -v '#\|^$' -R /etc/dnsmasq.*

?

EDIT: Owh first get it to work again with pihole -r like @DL6ER instructed

EDIT2: I just read this bit that you could try:

FTL Offline, Lost Connection To API

sudo touch /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases chown pihole:pihole /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases the first command may not be needed but i have it here just in case Should create the file and allow pihole-FTL to see and use it. I see a docker process is this being run in docker as well or is that something else on your system. The reason i ask is if we need to bring in the docker expert we just need to know
