Again, I must have missed something as I have been using Dietp + Pihole as it just worked. Today I updated Dietpi to the latest version and then noticed that Pihole also had updates available so I thought I would do my usual remove Pihole and add it back in, but it is no longer in the software lists? I can’t seem to find anything specific on this being removed, but only a general mention about some software being removed due to a change to the debian core?
I suppose if I had used pihole’s own update script, I’d still have it installed, but alas… I found it easier to just let Dietpi do the work and only replace the white and black lists I have, when it’s back up and running.
Thanks for the information, I’ll be putting the Odroid aside until it’s sorted out. It doesn’t actually do anything else. I just wish I had the original install which could have been left alone until this got sorted out.
Yes, you can get your Odroid with DietPi v6.2 back to work with pi-hole.
Pi-hole v3.3 Released: It’s “Extra” Special
Problem:
Pi-hole install script always install the last version.
In this case eg. Pi-hole Version v3.3 | Web Interface Version v3.3 | FTL Version v3.0
If you’re running Jessie and you updated Pi-hole to v3.3, you likely ran into issues.
This is because the version of dnsmasq that ships with it does not support the log-queries=extra option, which we use in v3.3.
What Should I Know About The New Logging?
After updating, the old-style log files will not be readable by FTL
If you’re running Jessie, your version of > dnsmasq > will not work with this release,
so you’ll need to revert to the previous versions:
Pi-hole Version v3.2.1 | Web Interface Version v3.2.1 | FTL Version v2.13.2
At the moment, you have to do this manually in terminal:
(must be execute with sudo or root account)
dietpi-software list | grep pi-hole
id 93 | =2 | pi-hole: block adverts for any device on your network | +git +webserver | https://dietpi.com/forum/t/dietpi-survey-information/32/1
mv /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf.bak
cd /etc/.pihole
git fetch --tags
git checkout v3.2.1
cd /var/www/html/admin
git fetch --tags
git checkout v3.2.1
cd "$HOME"
pihole -r
pihole checkout ftl v2.13.2
pihole -v
rm /var/log/pihole*
cp /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf.bak /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
reboot
After reboot, pi-hole web interface should work and will show :
Pi-hole Version v3.2.1 (Update available!) Web Interface Version v3.2.1 (Update available!) FTL Version vDev (XXX , v2.13.2 )
As it turns out, I had a clonezilla backup dated Nov. 27, 2017, so while it’s not the latest, it works and is reliable, so I put it back on the SD card and was back in business.
Hopefully the issue will be sorted out soon as I do like to keep things up to date, but I wonder how long it might take if it is an upstream problem.
k-plan, thank you for all your efforts and I was getting ready to do as you suggested when I found that Clonezilla image, so I got lazy.
Has the situation been ironed out in the new Odroid C2 image. As I’m stuck back on the earlier install, I don’t get any updates, so I don’t know when I should switch?
Pi-hole Version v3.3.1 | Web Interface Version v3.3 | FTL Version v3.0
… so nothing really new. You can click on the right top corner to get info about the latest release

What I personally done, only for testing, after I have downgrad my DietPi-v6.3_OdroidC2-ARMv8-Jessie to Pi-hole Version v3.2.1 | Web Interface Version v3.2.1 | FTL Version v2.13.2, I switched over a month ago to DietPi_OdroidC2-ARMv8-Stretch. But this is in testing stage, without full GPU or Kodi support.
But this don’t skin off my nose for a “pihole only installation” on my Odroid C2. https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1552
To be honest, at the moment, I personally would not switch or upgrade.
Pihole is working on a “new” FTL version with integrate dnsmasq called FTLDNS™, but it’s still for beta testing.
If for you all working as aspect, I would do nothing.
My other C2 installation, with DietPi v.123 on Jessie and Pihole v 1.6, works until now like a charm. I don’t miss anything, beside of some “visual eye candy” and analysis report. It’s very responsible, quick and reliable. The really imported thing, the blacklist update and blocking works awesome.
