Gravity Update PiHole VM loses Network Connectivity.

Help
1

Expected Behaviour:

ESXI 6 -> Debian VM.

cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="10"
VERSION="10 (buster)"
VERSION_CODENAME=buster
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="Debian -- Support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

Actual Behaviour:

Gravity Update should succeed without Pihole losing network access. Pings to Pihole fails. Have to reboot the VM to get Pihole working.

Debug Token:

What does pihole -g show before the network drops?

Is that repeatable, does it die at that same spot every time?

5

Yes. I can reproduce it all the time . Updating gravity via GUI or CLI kills the network interface and pihole

Any insights from the logs?

Sorry, it always drops with https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_tracking.txt as the list to retrieve?

And you'll need to do a new debug run, the logs are automatically deleted after a time out period.

It stopped crashing for now.
