Hostname appended with '.local' and 2 not resolved

Help
1

Any idea why all my client names are appended with .local ?

Also have 2 clients that are showing IPs in the dashboard, not the hostname?

Pi-hole is acting as my DHCP

Might be able to help more with a debug log. Without it there's no way to know.

3

My bad, I'll grab one and post

Debug token gkeshn1cqk

Another issue...
Intermittently I'm unable to acces my dash at pi.hole/admin

You have configured your local domain with the name "local"

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 483 Nov 13 21:13 /etc/dnsmasq.d/02-pihole-dhcp.conf
   dhcp-authoritative
   dhcp-range=192.168.0.3,192.168.0.251,24h
   dhcp-option=option:router,192.168.0.1
   dhcp-leasefile=/etc/pihole/dhcp.leases
   domain=local

I dont remember doing this :man_shrugging:
So if I delete that from the settings it will remove the domain from my hostname?

Any thoughts on why 2 clients show IP only?

If the clients have no host name for Pi-Hole to pick up, this may be the result.

They definitely do have hostnames as set by me with a static IP in pi-hole DHCP settings

Try renewing the DHCP leases on those clients.

12

Not sure how I'd do that tbh
One is a sky+ box and the other is a Lenovo smart clock

I would start with rebooting or restarting them.

Thanks, will give it a try.
Should this be the case though? I have set DHCP lease time to 24 hours.
