The issue I am facing:
The web interface is inaccessible via IP/admin, pi.hole or pi.hole/admin.
Details about my system:
Recently upgraded to v6, running another web app using lighttpd. I need to keep the web app.
What I have changed since installing Pi-hole:
Tried moving the web app to a subdomain by editing the lighttp configs, but that didn't work. Commented that out and restarted the lighttpd service.
As you already know, Pi-hole v6 doesn't use lighttpd.
lighttpd is currently using port 80:
[✗] tcp:0.0.0.0:80 is in use by lighttpd
Pi-hole v6 installer detected port 80 was in use and automatically moved the web server to port 8080:
[✓] tcp:0.0.0.0:8080 is in use by pihole-FTL
You can access the web interface adding port 8080 to your URL, or you can access it using https:
If you like, you can move lighttpd to a different port and change Pi-hole web interface to 80 with:
pihole-FTL --config webserver.port '80o,443os'
Awesome! I can see the admin interface now. However, I'd like to avoid using ports if at all possible. Would setting up a reverse proxy to a subdomain avoid namespace and port collisions? Does the subdomain require a DNS entry on my local router?
Yes, but I'm not sure how to configure lighttpd as a reverse proxy.
I know it's possible, but you will need to search how to do it.
