RaspAP && PiHole

[YannBrrd]

Hello,

I want PiHole to cohabitate with RaspAp but can't figure out how to get DHCP working so that I connect to my AP and get Pi Hole for DNS & DHCP.

Any tip ?

Regards,
Yann

No one? Is there an alternative? I just want pihole and a WiFi access point working

Do you currently have Pi-Hole installed on that device? If so,

Please send us the token generated by

pihole -d

or do it through the Web interface:

How do I debug my Pi-hole installation?

Login into your Pi-hole's command line Enter sudo pihole -d Provide us with the debug token that is generated after the debug script completes Alternative: Securely sending us additional information Preferred Method If there is additional information you want to provide us, you can upload any kind of text to our server. You will still get a debug token so your information will remain anonymous. To do this, you can pipe some shell output into netcat, which will upload it to our secure server. …

Hi,

Here it is :

Your debug token is: r1tt1kmbzz

my raspap runs on a different RPI which pointing to the pihole

@YannBrrd

Your debug token is: r1tt1kmbzz

A review of your debug log shows that dnsmasq is running on port 53.

In V4.0, dnsmasq is embedded in pihole-FTL, and dnsmasq no longer runs as a separate process. The debug log will show dnsmasq as either failed or inactive. Process pihole-FTL should be shown running on port 53.

DNS resolver - Pi-hole documentation

You will need to stop and disable dnsmasq, then restart pihole-FTL.

Finally, got it working.

1. Install RaspAP
2. Install Pi-Hole
3. sudo touch /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases
4. sudo chown pihole:pihole /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases
5. reboot

@YannBrrd
I have followed your steps multiple times and each time the hotspot just keeps on coming back with “No internet access”
Is there something I should be looking at other than the 2 specific requirements following a reboot to do?
I have gone thru RaspAP built first and rebooted a few times, connected thru 2 different WAN connections thru routers and all keeps working, till I install pihole. Is it that raspap requires dnsmasq or cannot read from FTL? Being new to UNIX world this is really maddening not to get this to work.

hey, did you solve the problem? I have the same situation

[yohann2799]

i followed all these steps, but when i try opening any of the blacklisted sites, it still opens

[yohann2799]

no blocking!

I copied the dnsmasq.conf from RaspAP installation into a new "yourname".conf file in /etc/dnsmasq.d

piHole installation backed up previous dnsmasq.conf (from RaspAP) in dnsmasq.conf.old and replaced with "conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d". So I just created a new ".conf" file in /etc/dnsmasq.d and copied from /etc/dnsmasq.conf.old.

From RaspAP FAQ

For now, I can connect to hotspot with pihole. (extra tip: After newly added blacklist sites, restart pihole and flush client dns cache. If still not blocking, check whiltelist)
