I set the port for the web interface to 82.
But, I am still not able to reach the WebGui by typing https://192.168.178.1:82/admin. Reaching the interface from HA is no problem.
What am I doing wrong?
Edit: changing from https to http seems to work. But, pi hole is not accepting the login credentials. I typed in my HA login credentials. The right user should be named pihole, but I do not know the actual password and how to change that.
FWIW, in case it helps anyone else, nothing I did based on all the docs I read would help show local hostnames in pi-hole, UNTIL I switched to ālisten on all interfacesā rather than ālisten only on interface eth0ā. Iām running DHCP on my AsusWRT-merlin router rather than the pi-hole itself, and I updated the host.list file there, turned on conditional forwarding, added all the proper IPs in the proper places according to everthing I read. But nowhere did I read anything about switching the interface listening behavior affecting this issue.
Hi all, Iāve been searching for a solution since yesterday, when I installed this add-on on Hass.io, but with no luck so I hope this wasnāt already ansered.
I canāt see hostnames in the add-on dashboard, no matter what I do, only IP addresses.
Pi-hole add-on is the DHCP server of my LAN and I can see it blocking requests from the clients.
I flagged āListen on all interfaces, permit all originsā but all I obtained was to be able to manually call a nslookup on a LAN hostnames from the SSH add-on connection but manually forcing the DNS in the command.
Did I forget anything?
I assume that for pihole to work my web browsing devices need to route their traffic via the rpi. How does this happen? For example my broadband router does not allow user defined dns addresses.
Am I misunderstanding something?
Perhaps turn the DHCP off on your broadband router and use DHCP in pihole?
I have just manually defined DNS on my windows laptop/desktop as they donāt leave my wifi.
Iām still trying to figure this same exact problem with Caddy as a reverse proxy and pihole running in a docker image. Did you ever solve this?
Does anyone know where adlists.list is stored on the pi? I canāt remove entries from the interface so thought I could remove it directly.
I donāt sorry, but couldnāt you just use the whitelist capability or maybe I am misunderstanding?
hi guys,
could someone please help i cant seem to find an answer to swapping the cleint ip for a choose name.
ive added the following yet il only see the ip address in pi hole
"hosts": [
{
"name": "Davids-IPad",
"ip": "10.0.0.18"
},
{
"name": "Davids-Phone",
"ip": "10.0.0.11"
}
]
}
my router is managing all dhcp
@phairplay: You may need to enable Settings -> DNS -> Use conditional forwarding
For everyone else - I have a question. Is there a standard way to modify dnsmasq configuration? I want to force āsafe searchā by overriding some domains:
sudo nano /etc/dnsmasq.d/05-restrict.conf

sudo nano /etc/hosts
216.239.38.120 restrict.youtube.com
216.239.38.119 restrictmoderate.youtube.com
216.239.38.120 forcesafesearch.google.com
204.79.197.220 strict.bing.com
Any suggestions on how I could do that in a way that is preserved by the container restart?
Edit: I see this is exposed outside of the container: /usr/share/hassio/addons/data/a0d7b954_pi-hole/dnsmasq.d/. Iāll give it a goā¦
Edit 2: Ok, to force safe search you can do the following:
"hosts": [
{
"name": "restrict.youtube.com",
"ip": "216.239.38.120"
},
{
"name": "restrictmoderate.youtube.com",
"ip": "216.239.38.119"
},
{
"name": "forcesafesearch.google.com",
"ip": "216.239.38.120"
},
{
"name": "strict.bing.com",
"ip": "204.79.197.220"
}
]

Thanks for the addon!
This question is for anyone i just selected the last post, anyways does anyone know how i can modify the pihole directory from hassio addons? i have static address i have prepped from a stand alone pihole instance that i would like to copy over, i would also like to install cloudflared over https onto the hassio platform. Any Ideas?
Configuration lives at /usr/share/hassio/addons/data/*_pi-hole/
hi, iāve a problem with this add-on. Iāve hassio on armbian and sometimes when i reboot it or energy go down when it restart (sometimes) iāve this error:
[18:47:21] INFO: Starting NGinx....
nginx: [emerg] invalid number of arguments in "resolver" directive in /etc/nginx/includes/resolver.conf:1
i donāt understand what appened, can you help me? thanks
Hello,
first of all, thank you for this great addon. During the installation of hass.io Iāve set a static dns server, for which Iāve configured to use cloudlfare. It seems like the Pi-Hole addon changes the preconfigured static dns server:
Log at addon startup:
[2020-01-03 19:24:40.610 871] New forward server: 8.8.4.4 (0/512)
[2020-01-03 19:24:40.610 871] New forward server: 8.8.8.8 (1/512)
Is there any possibility to change the dns-Server Pi-Hole is using?
Thank you in advance 
Yes this is available in the dns settings of pi hole itself.
Thanks Frenck, for putting your time into this.
Iām getting the following error whenever I start the DNS server. I only just installed it and have no idea where to start with troubleshooting.
2020/01/18 15:31:45 [error] 780#780: *152 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Warning: unlink(../custom_disable_timer): No such file or directory in /var/www/html/admin/api.php on line 47" while reading response header from upstream, client: 172.30.32.2, server: a0d7b954-pi-hole, request: "GET /api.php?enable=&token=<redacted>%3D HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:17276", host: "192.168.1.130:8123", referrer: "http://192.168.1.130:8123/api/hassio_ingress/<redacted>"
Any idea whatās going on?
Im having problems with the add-on, would you guys help me?
These are my settings:
I have an asus with merlin and the DNS Server 1 is the ip of my NUC.
What am I doing wrong? Iāve been able to make it work with my RPI before.

hey all,
I had hass.io running on ubuntu 18.04 with the pi-hole docker add-on all fine until I uninstalled pi-hole today. Since then the internet on the ubuntu machine is broken. All local ip addresses are fine: I can visit my local hass.io front-end and other local pages like my router, vacuum robot and a few sonoffs, but anything thatās not local doesnāt work. I can also succesfully ping to 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8
Iāve found a few similar problems in google but not yet a solution.
Recovering a snapshot doesnāt fix it: the pi-hole add-on doesnt start. No such image: hassioaddons/pi-hole-amd64:4.0.0
Hi Community
Is there a way to add to the blacklist (or even remove from blacklist) via RESTful API. Would love to change the list when certain condition(s) are met.
Thanks
