How do I upgrade to 3.2.1 from existing installation? pihole -u doesn't work

[roveer]

I love my pi-hole. I just performed a pihole -up this morning but then noticed that there is a new core update 3.2.1 that pihole -u doesn't install.

If I invoke the full installer "curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash" I'm concerned that it will blow away my customization's (ignores that I've given pi-hole to allow certain video streaming to work).

What's the best way to upgrade and preserve my tweaks?

Thanks,

Roveer

Pi-hole v3.3 Released: It's "Extra" Special

Thanks for the info. After reading a whole bunch of threads I'm seeing that there were problems through a previous version DNSMASQ issues? Has this all been worked out in 3.3 or should I expect trouble if I upgrade? If so, I'll steer clear until things settle down.

If you upgrade recently, then you are already on 3.3. @jacob.salmela gave you those commands because some users don't see the version number change, and those commands will fix that (they won't hurt anything by running).

Got it. I ran the commands and the web interface still says there's an update. I checked pihole -up and it says everything is up to date. Not going to obsess over it. It's working and that's all that counts.

--- update ---

just check again, and now web interface now shows 3.3 as expected. All good now.
