i recently updated from 5.something to 6.something, and i noticed some missing features:
on the login page there used to be a "remember me" checkbox. gone. bring it back
in the settings there used to be buttons to restart and shutdown the system. they're gone too, so now the only option to shut down pi-hole is to pull the plug. we need those buttons back.
also, the UI has changed noticeably, and it has not changed for the better.
The Buttons for rebooting and powering off were intentionally removed as in v6 pihole doesn’t have sudo powers and cant invoke such commands.
The time until a session expires can now be set in the config / web
All settings > Webserver and API >WEBSERVER.SESSION.TIMEOUT
No.
You can access the machine using ssh and execute sudo reboot or sudo shutdown -h now to have the exact same effect the buttons did in the past.
In v6, the web interface cannot execute commands with sudo, so buttons to shutdown or reboot will never work.
