How can I update Pi-Hole on DietPi?
Have tested to update using the build-in update function from Pi-Hole on serval devices, but it will not work for me (especially Web Interface update)
So I have done a reinstall. This will work for me.
Reinstall process:
Code: Select all
## backup your installation
dietpi-backup
## backup your pi-hole lists, if you wanted to hold
cp /etc/pihole/adlists.list /root/adlists.list
cp /etc/pihole/whitelist.txt /root/whitelist.txt
cp /etc/pihole/blacklist.txt /root/blacklist.txt
## dietpi update
dietpi-update
## git client uninstall
dietpi-software uninstall 12
## php uninstall
dietpi-software uninstall 89
## lighttpd uninstall
dietpi-software uninstall 84
## pi-hole uninstall
#### * HINT: *
#### - If PiHole asks questions to remove packages,
#### say NO to all of them.
dietpi-software uninstall 93
reboot
## pi-hole install
dietpi-software install 93
## set new Web Login passord "dietpi"
pihole -a -p dietpi
## set your adlists
cp /etc/pihole/adlists.default /etc/pihole/adlists.list
## Uncomment or comment any of the below lists
nano /etc/pihole/adlists.list
## Update your adlists
pihole -g
## restart services and watch for errors
dietpi-services restart
e.g.: url = http://192.168.0.100/pihole
