Pihole Update Confirmation

Help
1

Hello Community,

I just wanted to make sure whether my Pi-hole is updated. Here is the log :slight_smile:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pihole -up
[i] Checking for updates...
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com
[i] Pi-hole Core: up to date
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/pi-hole/AdminLTE.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com
[i] Web Interface: up to date
[i] FTL: Something has gone wrong, contact support

[?] Everything is up to date!

It says Pi-Hole is updated but FTL needs an update. It Throws an error message stating something wrong with FTL.

Any pointers or logs needed?

Thanks in Advance :slight_smile:

Please send us the token generated by

pihole -d

or do it through the Web interface:

If you cannot upload the log, then please do these steps:

This will temporarily reset the nameserver on the Pi to bypass Pi-Hole DNS.

sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf

edit nameserver 127.0.0.1 to nameserver 9.9.9.9 or your preferred third party DNS service, save and exit

Run pihole -d and upload the debug log

Debug.txt (460.3 KB)

Here is the debug log

Please do let me know if you need anything.

Your debug log shows you are on the most recent version.

This is odd in your debug log:

[i] Default IPv4 gateway: #transmit
#transmit
   * Pinging #transmit
#transmit...
ping: #transmit
#transmit: Name or service not known
[?] Gateway did not respond. (https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/why-is-a-default-gateway-important-for-pi-hole/3546)

You may also want to check your regex entries - there are some errors shown in /var/log/pihole-FTL.log

   [2019-11-18 04:07:39.060 7091] Skipping empty regex filter on line 1
   [2019-11-18 04:07:39.060 7091] ERROR compiling regex on line 3: Invalid preceding regular expression (13)
   [2019-11-18 04:07:39.064 7091] ERROR compiling regex on line 11: Invalid range end (11)

Let's look at why your Pi cannot connect to the Pi-Hole servers. From your Pi terminal, run the following commands and post the output here:

dig tricorder.pi-hole.net

dig github.com

pi@raspberrypi:~ $

I think I found the problem.

The PI is connected both Wired and Wireless to my router. I have disabled the Wired interface and reset the dns service.

Boom! That fixed the issue.

@jfb : Thanks for all the great responses. Appreciate it.
