Placeholder Page (Docker)

[darky]

Hi there,

I do have Pihole 5.15 up and running with Docker. It does wok in general.
But there is a small problem: instead of blocking page I do get the the placeholder page. I've already tried to delete all files in the folder as is desribed there (Getting lighthttpd placeholder page instead of new unblock page - #2 by DL6ER). But then I get an 403 error.

What I need to setup in order to get the page (back)?

Please elaborate, and include some screen shots showing what you are seeing. In this forum, you can paste images (or upload images) directly into your reply.

You need to append /admin when navigating via IP address.

This is mentioned in the release notes right at the top.

However also note that I pushed a new docker container (2022.1.1) with the following:

Lighttpd Config

Automatic redirection to /admin will only happen if you browse via http://pi.hole. If you wish to browse via http://[IP Address], then you will need to ensure that you add /admin manually. In the past, a splash screen has been shown with a link to /admin, however this is now removed along with the now-defunct blockpage.

If you really want any other hostname to redirect automatically to admin, simply create a file named /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/15-pihole-custom-admin-redirect.conf (or whatever you want to call it) with the contents similar to:

$HTTP["url"] == "/" {
    $HTTP["host"] == "my.custom.domain" {
         url.redirect = ("" => "/admin/")
    }
}
