Uninstall Pi-Hole

Hey, devs.
Iv'e just recently been unable to see stats on the dashboard.

I have tried pihole -r to repair and reconfigure, and also the original install command without any difference in interface performance.

My question : Is there a way to uninstall pihole that does not require to start from a fresh raspbian install?

Command:

pihole uninstall

It might be quicker and more efficient to try to find the problem. Run pihole -d for a debug token.

I would like to add before pihole -d that the dashboard not loading is very recent.
I ran pihole uninstall and then ran the install command again and it just does not seem to want to load.
I use firefox and have umatrix and noscript installed. I had no issues with either of them and pihole.
The only change network-wise was adding IPfire and I've not had any problem with it running other than turning on url filtering.
I have lede on my r8000 and had recently unchecked dns rebind.
Anyway, hope this provides you with some useful information. 6upe2mh4io
Thanks for your time.

Can you give a screenshot of what you see on the web interface? FTL appears to be running.

The arrows just keep going around.
And also the query log gives 'unknown error'

What is the output of curl -i http://pi.hole/admin/api.php?summary?

Try without that last ?.

Try pihole -f to flush the log (to make sure it isn't because it's too big of a log). Wait a min to let it start to fill up again, then run that curl command again.

Do you think a fresh install should be done? More than likely has to be some weird thing with just my installation.

A fresh install should fix it. If it doesn't, then there might be something wrong with the network.

I have your problem, too. Did a fresh install fix it?

In my circumstance, I installed Pihole through a wifi connection and then decided to migrate it to a wired connection, for performance. Worked fine and I did not experience any degradation in wifi mode, but I had wired availability, so I put it to wired. Assigned the new wired Pihole IP address to lock it down, changed the DNS reference in the router and restarted everything.

I got some small number of reported queries, but it never changed. I reset the logs with no change. I tried the Pihole -r and did the less intrusive repair option. At that point, I got the "--" queries reported and the spinning wheel (as the OP did).

Perhaps I should have done something differently when I swapped my Pi to wired? Otherwise, I had normal Pi operation. I run it headless; VNC and updates occurred flawlessly.

So, I am in the middle of an uninstall/reinstall attempt to fix it. I want Pihole to work, I want the blocking it affords.

Thanks to developers for their efforts!
