Home Assistant Community Add-on: Pi-hole

grahamr · March 13, 2018, 2:44pm

Is there anyway to update to 3.3 as well as get in the addon and clear out logs - and/or user teleporter to export settings so i could setup from scratch?

frenck · March 18, 2018, 9:17am

No there is no way to upgrade the Pi-hole installation in the add-on from the user side.

Nevertheless, I’m working on a update.

Hi,

did anyone experience no data in logs after update? Blocking still works, just no data after 9:02PM
I am not sure that update caused it as I was changing hosts setings around same time …
Anbody?

Did you solve the issue with no data showing? I saw your edit, but I’m experiencing that as well, plus weird client names (jp or cn)

MrUkleja · March 19, 2018, 5:42pm

Yes, I was able to solve this issue by uninstalling and installing add-on again.

meme1337 · March 19, 2018, 5:56pm

Was going to do the same
Thanks!!

MrUkleja · March 20, 2018, 8:58am

Can anyone suggest me a way to configure Pi-hole add-on so I can see client names instead of IP addresses ?
Is adding hosts to configuration a way to do it?
“hosts”: [ { “name”: “printer.local”, “ip”: “192.168.1.5” }] ?
Or is it better to config hosts on router DHCP ?

Any tips will be appreciated

frenck · March 20, 2018, 9:38am

Hmm… @MrUkleja This is actually a bug/flaw in the setup in combination with Hass.io.

Hassio itself does not use Pi-hole for DNS lookup, resulting in Pi-hole asking the PTR/Reverse lookup to the wrong resource (upstream DNS).

This should be fixable

running into an odd issue - i removed pihole to reinstall and fix my logs that got borked - used teleporter to export settings (working now in 1.0!!) but when i go to reinstall i can’t. i get this error in my logs

18-03-20 15:17:48 ERROR (SyncWorker_18) [hassio.docker.interface] Can't install hassioaddons/pi-hole-armhf:1.0.0 -> 500 Server Error: Internal Server Error ("Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/: dial tcp: lookup registry-1.docker.io on [::1]:53: read udp [::1]:36639->[::1]:53: read: connection refused"). 18-03-20 15:17:48 INFO (MainThread) [hassio.api.security] /addons/a0d7b954_homebridge/info access from a0d7b954_homebridge

@grahamr

My guess: You Hass.io gets its network configuration from DHCP. Your DHCP is giving out Pi-hole DNS?
You’ve removed Pi-hole, therefore you broke DNS resolving and resulting in Docker can’t download?

Ensure you configure your Hass.io device with a STATIC network configuration…

grahamr · March 20, 2018, 4:03pm

I checked it all… soemthing wonky going on for sure. Resin config is static, using just google dns.
Router is now handing out my backup pihole and google.
Rebooted the whole pi and I’m still seeing this overall.
I know hass is pulling DNS right because darksky is working. Very very odd.

Backup dns server will work for now. Wondering if there is a host update from 1.3 or something.

Edit: to close the loop I think my card was dying. I built a new install and started over with my old config and it’s all good.

I had the same issue. While I was troubleshooting, the System tab in Hassio borked itself and Hassio didn’t know what OS I was running, and I no longer had the links to shutdown or restart the OS. SSH (the stock version) couldn’t restart the OS either, so I had to pull the plug. Still borked after the restart, so I ended up installing a fresh image of Hassio. Installed Pi-hole and all is well. I don’t know if the two issues were related, or just an unhappy coincidence, but I figured I’d mention it.

I’m having trouble with Pi-hole + DuckDNS/Let’s Encrypt
I can reach the Pi-hole with port 80 (http) but when I try reaching it with https I get “404: Not Found”. Any ideas of what I’m doing wrong here? I have opened ports and followed every instructions to install it.

Dominic · March 21, 2018, 11:26am

@Dominic Does your Hassio device have a static network configuration with an external DNS server(s) set?

frenck · March 21, 2018, 8:11pm

This is actually a bug in the upgrade process of the add-on. I will be deploying a fix for this asap.

Dominic · March 21, 2018, 9:04pm

after reading this thread this is the one thing i am not sure about. my dhcp is set by my router with the hassio having a static ip 10.0.1.44. the dns is also set by the router which use to be set to 10.0.1.44 which worked great (when i use to run hassbian and HA and also on hassio and prior to update). i thought if i turned off the dns during initial setup it could at least update the lists once so i set my routers dns back to normal and this didn’t help. is there somewhere in hassio where i set static and dns? (i’m sure i could goggle this)

Dominic · March 21, 2018, 9:09pm

looks like i have to edit a resin file to set static and dns. poo

anon35356645 · March 22, 2018, 10:05am

is it possible to use the addon also as DHCP server and assign static IP address to specific mac addresses?

If yes, how to do it in settings?
