Pihole lost its static IP adress - not reachable anymore

flex-0 · August 15, 2022, 3:44pm

Hey guys, I have no clue whats going in here. I'm using pihole as dhcp, DNS and of course for adblocking. Its a pi3b with debian latest (i think bullseye).

Everything was working well till now, when suddenly all of my devices lost internet connection. At first I thought it would probably be my provider due to maintanence or an error but my fritzbox showed internet access was just fine.

So i tried the pihole web admin panel but getting an error. I tried to SSH but not cli statet not reachable. Pinged the IP, 100% package loss. So I restarted the pi (old windows trick ) but nothing changed either. Lastly I pluged in a screen and keyboard and restarted it again. Its booting, I can login and try:

ip a s

And it seems my pihole has no ipv4

I have no idea what to do, or even where to start. Could you provide some help?

Thanks in advance

How did you setup the static IP in the first place? Did you use dhcpcd as shipped with the RPi OS images or ifupdown resp. /etc/network/interfaces as used on Debian images by default?

Assuming the first one, please check the logs of dhcpcd:

journalctl -u dhcpcd

@MichaIng beat me to it but here is mine anyway:

You could temprarely assign/add an IP manually until get it fixed permanently/reboot persistent.
And can even install a default route if want the host to be able to connect to the Internet.
That way you can SSH in again.
Example below:

When can SSH in again, post results for below ones here pls?

journalctl --full -u dhcpcd | tail -50

grep -v '^#\|^$' /etc/dhcpcd.conf

Hey there,

log was empty.

I could bring the adminpanel back online ( but only for a short time) with ‘ip addr add 192.168.X.X/24 dev eth0’

Also /etc/network/interfaces eth0 was on

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet6 auto

which I changed to (according to my network)

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address <IP in CIDR format, eg 10.0.0.53/24>
gateway

but after a restart everything is gone and i cant bring it back online. But I created a log. Is there anyway to upload it manualy?

deHakkelaar · August 15, 2022, 4:58pm

Whats your OS?

lsb_release -d

Network settings for Pi-OS/Raspbian should not be configured in /etc/network/interfaces but instead in the dhcpcd.conf file:

pi@ph5b:~ $ tail /etc/dhcpcd.conf
[..]
interface eth0
  static ip_address=10.0.0.4/24
  static routers=10.0.0.1
  static domain_name=home.dehakkelaar.nl
  static domain_name_servers=10.0.0.1

deHakkelaar · August 15, 2022, 5:02pm

Copy/paste only the relevant bits to here.
And enclose/highlight the log output with the </> button before replying.

flex-0 · August 15, 2022, 5:05pm

lsb_release -d is an unknown comand. Its debian I think bullseye or one prior.

deHakkelaar · August 15, 2022, 5:10pm

cat /etc/os-release

cat /etc/debian_version

cat /etc/issue

?

Below if dont use dhcpcd but ifupdown instead.
Not sure if it shows more details but could try:

journalctl --full -u networking.service

Hard to say whats important for me, so if you miss anything just say so:

I moved this thread to the community section as this is not a Pi-hole issue.

Ok so OS is debian 11 bullseye.

There is no dhcpcd.conf

journalctl --full -u networking.service brought something up:

ifup missing required variable: adress
ifup missing required configuration variables for interface eth0/inet
ifup: failed to bring up eth0
networking.service: Main process exited, code = exited, status=1/Failure
networking.service: Failed with result exit code
Failed to start Raise network

deHakkelaar · August 15, 2022, 5:25pm

I believe the ~~indents~~ indentations are important eg:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
  address XX.XX.XX.XX/XXX
  gateway XX.XX.XX.XX

Could also give below a try without CIDR if know how to calculate mask and broadcast address:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
  address XX.XX.XX.XX
  netmask XX.XX.XX.XX
  broadcast XX.XX.XX.XX
  gateway XX.XX.XX.XX

EDIT: Ow maybe below is enough if keep an eye on the journals instead of rebooting:

sudo service networking.service restart

EDIT2: Maybe the service command isnt installed.
If so:

sudo systemctl restart networking.service

And check journals.

Hey there sorry for taking so long, but I have to do this all via my cellphone bc its the only device with internet conection.

So I tried the diffrent inputs on adress, mac and so on, but none of them work. Setting it back to dhcp and adding ip with

‘ip addr add 192.168.X.X/24 dev eth0’

makes it available via ssh and browser. The journal states the following:

It would help if you post the exact IP that your trying to configure via the interfaces file.
They are private addresses so there is very little harm in posting them here (we all share the same addresses).
Also the 192.168.178.5 IP acquired via DHCP is shown in the journals anyway.

Also it would help if you describe your changes first and below it, post only the relevant journal entries.
Its a bit difficult now to distinct what causes what journal entries.

By the looks of it, at some stage, acquiring an IP via DHCP seems successful and you would not have to add an IP with the ip command.

I still feel something is wrong with that /etc/network/interfaces file.
I would move it to some place else for reference, and recreate the file eg:

sudo mv /etc/network/interfaces ~

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Or use vi if thats your editor of choice.

Permissions should be 644 if I'm correct.
Can check with below on the original file before moving:

stat /etc/network/interfaces

EDIT: Also after you've restored network connectivity with the ip command, could you post results for below one pls?

pihole-FTL dhcp-discover

Redact the bits that you dont want to expose here!

Hey sorry for the struggle with me and thanks a lot for your help.

I activates the dhcp in the router, so I can use my normal computer instead of the cellphone.

So here is the outcome of pihole-FTL dhcp-discover

After that I changed eth0 acordingly to:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.178.5/16
gateway 192.168.178.1
iface eth0 inet6 auto

This time after sudo systemctl restart networking.service its still reachable

If so, I wouldn't touch a thing except disabling one of the two DHCP services that are running now.
