I have noticed this for months now but always forget to find out why.
My Pi instances keeps throwing this annoying pi.hole hostname into the network.
even so its hosts and hostname file name are properly set like so.
Where is that coming from, how can I remove it, delete it, do whatever it is necessary to stop my instances from adding that noise to the network??
Thank you
It's a built-in domain name unique to Pi-hole. It allows the Pi-hole to be reached via a fixed name regardless of the hosts setup or the interface in use.
The Pi-hole normal hostnames (and IPs) continue to work and identify specific hosts as expected (your second screenshot example).
Use whichever variants make the most sense at the point of operation.
Do you know if there is a way to disable it??
I understand the reason why now but I do not need that and would love to disable it.
Thank you
I don't think you can in v5, not without hacking the code (someone will correct me if that's wrong), whereas in v6, which is in beta at the moment, you can.
