Small question after v6 upgrades

Help
1

I finally managed to update the pi-hole to version 6 (raspberry pi 3b+ 1gb ram).
I uninstalled lighttpd and web interface is working as expected.
some small questions:

  1. I still have php 8.2.28 installed, can I remove it? (raspberry is used only for pi-hole), raspberry OS 12 lite, no GUI

  2. now I have this warnings:
    Warning in dnsmasq core:
    ignoring nameserver 127.0.0.1 - local interface
    ignoring nameserver fd01:2345:6789:abcd::2 - local interface

ok I read this: Noob help. Dns error
but I don't have that ip on my upstream server (I think...)
debug log:
https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/iM8lNItB/

  1. (ok maybe this is stupid but..) can I clear the "know client list" box in client list management?
    (I have some client I don't need like friend's samartphone etc.)

  2. GitHub - MichalSvatos/pi-hole-star-trek-picard at development-v6
    this theme is not yet fully working with v6, right? or is safe to use it at the moment?

thank you!

  1. I still have php 8.2.28 installed, can I remove it?
    Pi-hole v6 doesn't use PHP.
    If you are 100% sure you don't needed PHP, you can remove it.

  2. but I don't have that ip on my upstream server (I think...)
    You have both IPs in your /etc/resolv.conf:

    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 104 16 mar 21.29 /etc/resolv.conf
   nameserver 127.0.0.1
   nameserver 9.9.9.9
   nameserver fd01:2345:6789:abcd::2

  3. can I clear the "know client list" box in client list management?
    This is populated using the clients from database.
    To be honest, I've never needed to clear this data. I'm not sure if you will be able to clear it using the "Flush network table" button, on Settings > System page. Maybe...

  4. This theme was not fully migrated to v6.
    The author answered another topics saying the theme will eventually be finished, but there is no deadline. You will need to wait.

thank you!
so...

  1. ok, I will uninstall php and see if everything is ok.
  2. can I modify directly resolv.conf? I read around that it is overwritten at boot by networkmanger...
    if so what is the right way to avoid that warnings on pi-hole?
  3. ok I'll try "flush network table" (in any case it is not a priority)
  4. ok I'll wait (is not a priority too)

update:

  1. php removed, everything is working as expected
  2. now I remember that I added some extra dns via networkmanager:
    ( sudo nmcli con mod "Connessione via cavo 1" ipv4.dns "127.0.0.1 9.9.9.9" )
    the goal was to allow the raspberry to connect to the network even if pi-hole stopped working;
    also fd01:2345:6789:abcd::2 is a static ipv6 I added because I set it on my router as primary dns6 server (iliadbox)

You don't need to change this. Your /etc/resolv.conf looks normal. My answer was just pointing to you where the IPs are coming from.

ok, this is a good news!
thank you!
