Please follow the below template, it will help us to help you!

If you are Experiencing issues with a Pi-hole install that has non-standard elements (e.g you are using nginx instead of lighttpd, or there is some other aspect of your install that is customised) - please use the Community Help category.

Expected Behaviour:

pi-hole admin interface should be available automatically after reboot.

  • ubuntu/jammy container on Proxmox
  • Mac Mini late 2012

Actual Behaviour:

/admin interface does not start with reboot, after I did apt upgrade and pihole -up.
Seems to work fine after running pihole -d. Then fails to run on next boot.
pihole -r ran successfully but made no difference I can see.

after reboot:

$ sudo systemctl status pihole-FTL.service
* pihole-FTL.service - LSB: pihole-FTL daemon
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/pihole-FTL; generated)
     Active: inactive (dead)
       Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)

Starting the service causes it to run.

Thanks for replying. As-above, I did try that - makes no apparent difference.

Ha . caused by overly high expectations.
If i wait patiently - the service starts.
What an idiot!

The services should start automatically on boot.

I never used Proxmox, but you should investigate if there is something interfering with the services start.

That is what I was thinking. I checked sudo journalctl -b -u pihole-FTL and got nothing. Timing, timing, timing...
