Still Unable to do scripted upgrade since 5.11.3

[Paul_Lazarchik]

This is concerning my previously closed topic: Unable to do scripted upgrade since 5.11.3

With the latest updatefrom FTL v5.16.1 I on Rocky Linux 8.6 I am still unable to get an unattended update to work. As you can see from the below attached output it passes the OS test on line 61 but then on line 82 it still opens a dialog stating it is an unsupported RPM based distribution and hangs waiting for input.

PS, I have tried this both with and without the PIHOLE_SKIP_OS_CHECK='true' set.

[Paul_Lazarchik]

Here is the full script I am running:
#!/bin/bash
FILE=/usr/local/bin/pihole
if [ -f "$FILE" ]; then
echo "Checking for Updates"
TERM=linux $FILE -up --unattended
echo "Updating Black Lists"
$FILE -g
else
echo "PiHole not installed"
fi

The FTL update was only a hotfix for the Telnet API and did not change the installer. You need to be patient. The relevant PR is Drop explicit support for CentOS 7 from the install script by PromoFaux · Pull Request #4828 · pi-hole/pi-hole · GitHub, which is part of the development branch now. It will be part of the next Pi-hole (core) release.

[Paul_Lazarchik]

I apologize. From the previous discussion I thought the changes were all complete. I will remain silent for a while.

We are close to a new release. Code is ready, we only need to find a date when enough Devs have some spare time at the same time.
