How do I update Pi-hole?

At this time, we cannot update Pi-hole from the Web interface as we need to restart the server, which would interrupt the update process.

Run the following command on your Pi-hole:

pihole -up

You will need to SSH into your machine or access it directly via a keyboard and monitor. Typically, Pi-hole is running as a headless server so SSH is the preferred choice to run the command.
