Genral Assistance in making Pi-Hole the main DHCP server

Help
1

Expected Behaviour:

  • Ubuntu Server 24.04.3 LTS
  • Hewlett-Packard HP t620 Dual Core TC

Actual Behaviour:

I have a mini-pc that is connected to my router via ethernet and that mini-pc have a static ip address (192.168.100.200) that i setup in the router itself through my router’s page,

Pi-Hole is working great and i have disabled the DHCP server in my router and enabled the one in Pi-Hole but if the router restarts the router does not see the wired devices anymore (my mini-pc running pi-hole) and i have to enter to the router page enable the router’s DHCP and then connect all the devices (including the wired devices my mini-pc) and then disconnect it again.

If you configure the static IP on the router, this information won't be available when you disable the router DHCP server.

You need to configure the static IP directly on the Ubuntu OS.
