PIHOLE admin interface not accessable on Local LAN

Help
1

Hi

PIHole on my Raspberry PI 3B works great on my clients using DNS and DHCP, it's running on docker (host network)....

I can access pihole admin interface via:

http:/pi.hole/admin
http://pi.hole/
http://127.0.0.1/admin

but only on the Raspberry PI itself.

but I can't access:
http://<IP_ADDPRESS_OF_RASPBERRY_PI>/admin/ on the PI, nor can I access it from another device or computer on my local LAN using any of the methods above (obviously 127.0.0.1 won't work by design).

Any ideas please?

Thanks

Alex

Re: PiHole web interface is reachable only from the Raspberry Pi itself.

I have a similar problem - Any other machine on the LAN errors out with ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT. This occurs using either http://pi.hole/admin or http://192.168.0.250/admin (and both of these methods work just fine from the GUI on the Pi itself). All diagnostics show as fine and PiHole blocking works just fine for all clients. SSH connection to the Pi works fine as well.

I was using a Raspberry Pi Zero W with this issue, and after several attempts to fix it (including a wipe/reinstall of Raspbian and PiHole) I switched to a Raspberry Pi 3B+. Same issue here as well.

The following debug token was obtained using SSH from a client machine: lsxkblqr5q

DHCP & Network routing is provided by pfSense 2.5.1 on a different machine, and it is configured to have clients use the PiHole for DNS.

Any debug log, please?
(It's already asked for in the template...)

Will do.

For some reason the debug stalls when I'm logged into SSH it via VPN. I'll post when I can get my hands on the PI. Thx.

OK sorry for delay, debug token here...

Your debug log shows Pi-hole's network connectivity is flawed:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Networking
[✓] IPv4 address(es) bound to the eth0 interface:
   192.168.1.4/24 does not match the IP found in /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Setup variables
    IPV4_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1

Please share your Docker compose or run scripts.

Appreciated

The PIHole eth0 runs under static IP address 192.168.1.4.
So I assume I have to change:
IPV4_ADDRESS=192.168.1.4 in the script that runs the docker container for pihole (rather point to the localmachine)?

Thanks...

Yup - I very much appreciate your help, it works.
Next stop, try again using this under docker and VLAN...
