Is there anything that I need to do during or after the upgrade
I did quickly read the changes and warnings
I make a copy of the v5 config volume map
everything seems to be working but I just want to make sure I have no overlooked anything
is "-e WEBPASSWORD" still correct as I think that is an environment variable
and is "--dns" still valid
I also had custom dhcp assignment in dnsmasq.d/04-pihole-static-shcp.conf I was told I shouldn't have ever edited that file, but what my custom line did was give all unknow devices an address in the 192.168.255.X subnet which was then blocked by a group
I don't mind if this is broken I will just use ignore unknow clients from the GUI
I am not an Expert when it comes to Docker but what I mean is the configuration file that goes with your Pi-Hole Container : A LOT has changed from v5 to v6 !!
as far as I know, there was an automatic conversion of files, every is working, but discourse.pi-hole.net seems really slow loading and I wanted to know about my environment variables
and I would also like some more information on DNS cache optimizer, do it mean the cache does not expire for the time given?
All of your Pi-hole container's environment variables (as prefixed by -e in a docker run script) should be scrutinised as per our Docker Upgrading from v5.x - Pi-hole documentation.
Other Docker configuration options (like your --dns) remain valid, as they are specific to Docker rather than Pi-hole.
I though it wasn't, but the container is still working, this password must be stored in the database as well
so my main issues at the minute are:
Should the docker tag be a hyperlink like it used to be
This is the whole reason I took a break from here, no one has actually gave any information about the possible bugs I have found, yes the documentation will help with the variables but that's not going to fix the grey query graph or the fact the docker tag is no a hyperlink
I've split your funny colours post into a separate topic, as its unrelated to your question about your Pi-hole container's environment variables, and thus will need to find a separate solution.
With regards to this topic. I consider Pi-hole's documentation on upgrading from a v5 container to a v6 one as both relevant and helpful to your original question.
I'd also like to remind you about your attitude:
It seems unfair and contradictive that you are abusing nero355 as 'not being helpful', while you are telling me that 'the documentation will help with the variables' when both of us were providing the exact same link, in an effort to answer your original question.
If you continue this way, I'd be rather reluctant to answer any of your posts anymore.
Sorry @nero355, I didn’t mean it like that, the fact is you have said the same thing like three times, and was reacting like my pi-hole was not working, I did overreact and I am sorry for that
I already know I did wrong, and regret saying what I did, I am really trying to be better this time, but sometimes I hit reply without fully thinking
What you don’t see is the amount of post I actually never send at all
The lease time can be in seconds, minutes (e.g., "45m"), hours (e.g., "1h"),
days (like "2d"), or even weeks ("1w"). If no lease time is specified (empty),
dnsmasq's default lease time is one hour for IPv4 and one day for IPv6. You
may also use "infinite" as string but be aware of the drawbacks: assigned
addresses are will only be made available again after the lease time has passed
or when leases are manually deleted below.
is that a mistake, as I was told pi-hole DHCP is not using dnsmasq
so is it using dnsmasq but he custom FTLDNS version
wouldn't that be better worded as FTLDNS instead of dnsmasq to avoid confusing with normal dnsmasq as the options are slightly different from normal dnsmasq now
04-pihole-static-dhcp.conf was exactly the same as what you would find in dnsmasq
the syntax has changed slightly in V6 as its now in pihole.toml
the only thing I really have an issue with now is the fact the docker tag is not a hyperlink to the github page for that tag like how it is with the versions
