My setup:
pi5
pios 19-NOV-2024
pi-hole config
In webadm:/admin/settings/dns with expert enabled. The interface settings show:
But the our documentation link shows:
i.e. the documentation shows an actual interface name. Should the config show the actual interface name on that page?
Already fixed in development:
Please excuse my ignorance here. I'm not impatient, I just don't know. When would this be included in public (stable?) release? I just updated to:
and it still doesn't show the interface name:
Maybe there's something funky about my pi5 PiOS setup and the pihole admin page is unable to determine my interface name?
Since I'm using the pihole as a DHCP server, there's no DHCP server on my network when the pi5 is booting. So I had to configure it with a static IP. I struggled to figure out how to set a static IP on eth0 and the information I found via googling was all over the place yet at the same time not detailed enough for my setup (PiOS debian bookworm) to be helpful. I ended up adding “ ip=192.168.1.2" (no quotes) to the end of the line in cmdline.txt referenced during the initial bootup/install. Once it had successfully booted, I determined through trial and error that I had to remove that from the end of the line in cmdline.txt, then use "sudo nmtui" to edit the eth0 connection with the address, gateway/router and DNS servers. While there I disabled IPv6 and figured out (again, through trial and error) to enable "Automatically connect". It's working, but obviously I'm still doing something wrong because upon reboot the sshd (which I've specifically configured to listen only on 192.168.1.2) fails on startup as the interface doesn't seem to be up yet. I can see later in the boot log that the interface comes up. Why sshd is started before the interface is up is beyond me. I'm able to login on the console and "systemctl restart ssh" just fine. Obviously I've configured something incorrectly. But documentation on how to setup static IP address is sparse.
Please upload a debug log and post just the token URL that is generated after the log is uploaded by running the following command from the Pi-hole host terminal:
pihole -d
or if you run your Pi-hole as a Docker container:
docker exec -it <pihole-container-name-or-id> pihole -d
where you substitute <pihole-container-name-or-id> as required.
