Excuse me, I'm new here on the forum!

As for VMWare, check out memory reclamation, or just overcommit.

I also disabled query and log analysis.

Running the lighttpd web server is optional. You can almost completely control and monitor Pi-Hole from the command line.

How do I disable it? I was thinking about collecting the data via API for GRAFANA.

nial538 · February 27, 2020, 8:40pm

it is an option on install

nial538 · February 27, 2020, 8:41pm

or using

sudo systemctl disable lighttpd.service

sudo systemctl stop lighttpd.service

Simple is to just sudo systemctl disable lighttpd.conf and stop the lighttpd server from starting. But you'll need to edit /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf to also show

    INSTALL_WEB_SERVER=false
    LIGHTTPD_ENABLED=false

Heh, yeah. But I think in this case the free memory isn't being given back to the hypervisor. The VM is locking it for it's own use. That's why I mentioned checking for reclamation options. Or just overcommit memory and let each VM battledome for the resources.

O dear, malloc not playing along
