Expected Behaviour:
Pihole -up should update the pihole to the latest version
Actual Behaviour:
Getting error message: could not update local repository. contact support.
Have you made any changes to any files in /etc/.pihole or /var/www/html/admin/
I never changed any setting since the default setup. Found out there's an update, so tried to run pihole -up to do the update. Gave me the error, so I googled for some answers and found this post: DietPi-Software | Pi-hole: Fails to update due to changed file permissions · Issue #2516 · MichaIng/DietPi · GitHub, so I followed the steps to make head updated to latest, but it still didn't work, so I made a post here.
Basically the only commands I have run apart from normal setup on my PiHole are:
cd /var/www/html/admin
git reset --hard HEAD
pihole -up
no other command, no other modification.
Did you install Pi-hole via the curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net way or via dietpi-software?
Used the curl, not dietpi.
My issue got resolved. After extensive researching and fine honing my google queries, I finally ran into this reddit post that solved my problem.
Followed the instructions and it worked perfectly. Hope it helps someone else!
