"Zip archive too large"

Help
1

I am running Pihole V6.4.2 as an app loaded on Truenas Goldeye. I am attempting to create a configuration export file using the Teleporter. I then try to import the file back or to my Rasp PI running the same version.

When I attempt to import the created config file to either Pihole config I get the below error in the FTL log file.

WARNING API: ZIP archive too large (key: bad_request)

If I attempt an import of a config file made from my Rasp Pi it reads it just fine. So the Truenas app is not creating a zip file that can be read. I have tried restarting the app but the behavior does not change. Is there a config setting I have wrong?

What is the actual size of your ZIP file?

Also, please upload a debug log and post just the token URL that is generated after the log is uploaded by running the following command from the Pi-hole host terminal:

sudo pihole -d

or if you run your Pi-hole as a Docker container:

docker exec -it <pihole-container-name-or-id> pihole -d

where you substitute <pihole-container-name-or-id> as required.

The file is only about 70K.

How long does pihole -d take to run? Seems to be running a long time.

Depends on the machine, but usually less than a minute and you can see the log being generated. If the log is stuck for too long, it could mean you have some other issue on the OS.

The message saying the archive is too large should only be triggered by files over 128MB.

Maybe there is something wrong or corrupted on the filesystem.

Let's check the integrity of the pihole-FTL executable.
Please run the command below and post the output:

pihole-FTL verify

pihole-FTL verify
[✓] Binary integrity check: OK

After about a half hour it created the file but would not send it to the server.

Should I send the zip file since that seems to be the problem?

7

Can you open the file using 7-zip, Windows explorer, or any other compression/decompression program?

Also, what browser are you using?
Did you try to export and import the file using a different browser?

Pi-hole doesn't have a TrueNAS app. This is clearly a third party app.

What is exactly this app and where did you find it? Is this a docker image?

You should try asking the app developers for help.

So the App is in their catalog (Pi-hole | TrueNAS Apps Market). It runs in a Truenas docker container.

10

It opens and extracts with windows explorer. I tried Chrome and Edge.

11

Also I was wrong on the size of the file, its 72Mb.

Think I have determined that it is a dataset permission issue. The dataset I created for the app was not setup for app permission. Everything is working great now. Thanks for the help.
