Anyone got screenshots of the new UI?

[-] [email protected] 28 points 4 months ago

https://u.drkt.eu/PZJz6H.png I don't know how to embed an image link

It's not fundamentally different

[-] [email protected] 31 points 4 months ago

just for future reference (click the source button to see how I embedded your image)

pihole v6 ui

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Thanks, I haven't used pi-hole in a while, but it looks the same for me.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Thanks for sharing! I need to get mine running again.

Be careful upgrading Docker versions, it has breaking changes.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Whew, this is why I pin on sha256. I fear for the latest crowd.

Edit: At least it seems updating the container doesn't break things:

Replacing any v5 image (2024.07.0 and earlier) with a v6 image will result in updated configuration files. These changes are irreversible.

Live on the edge

Pin to develop

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I don't use pihole, but everything I use is pinned by major release version. No problem yet with surprise breakage.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

Looks like a great release!

[-] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

Can you run pi-hole in lxc without also needing docker ?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

Yes , that's how I run it in my Proxmox. Just create the lxc, wget the installer and run it.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago
[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

+1 for running pihole in an LXC, and a redundant pihole in a docker container.

They never update at the same time, or in the same way so near as dammit constant uptime.

If Pi-Hole starts supporting DoH out-of-the-box, I'll happily switch from AdguardHome.

DNS Over Https

Not to be confused with

DNS Over TLS

It's just a way of keeping your ISP from reading your DNS requests.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Not just reading. A while back, some ISPs moved towards replacing DNS queries to known DNS servers with their own replies.

DNS over HTTPS. It allows encrypted DNS lookup with a URL, which allows for url-based customizations not possible with traditional DNS lookups (e.g. the server could have /ads or /trackers endpoints so you can choose what to block).

DNS Over TLS (DoT) is similar, but it doesn't use URLs, just IP addresses like generic DNS. Both are encrypted.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

How much is Pi-hole worth it assuming I’m using UBO and also have most non-ad based streaming services?

I’m thinking phones and less often used devices?

[-] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

It’s extra protection, especially if you use non-browser apps on your devices it can limit tracking.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

I love my pihole. Even gets rid of the ads on my roku homescreen.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

I can tell you something: I'm using some free apps on my Android phone and never notice ads at home, but when I'm on the mobile network or on a different wifi (at work or some public place) I start seeing them.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

This is one of the reasons why I set up a Wireguard VPN connection to my home network, and an on-demand VPN connection on my phone that automatically turns on anytime I’m not on the home network. Even away from home I get the benefits of my Pi-hole+Unbound (running as recursive resolver) setup.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

This is my setup too. I use WG-Tunnel to manage the VPN connection on my phone. It just monitors whenever you disconnect from your trusted WiFi network and automatically enables the VPN.

Only hiccup I've found is wireless Android Auto isn't a fan of a VPN.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

It's really nice for random browsing/apps. Games, free tools, general web browsing; none of it loads ads.

Some mobile games will even attempt to load ads, fail, then give you the reward for 'watching' the ad.

It also stops devices from phoning home to upload telemetry and blocks known malware domains. (depends on the lists you use, heres a source for some lists)

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I’m partial to AdGuardHome myself, but PiHole does the job well

Has anyone tried https://github.com/hickory-dns/hickory-dns? It seems to be a complete DNS server instead of what looks like a bunch of bash config for a standard Linux tool. There are block lists you can configure as well, and it supports pretty much everything.

It's way overkill, but hey, why not?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

I probably would just stick with dnsmasq

[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Good news! Hope they implement detailed query log and support for upstream DoH DNS next.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

They've added a bit more info to the query log, when you click on individual items.

It's still not a native feature, but; You can add DOH using cloudflared, incl configuring which upstream(s) to use (you don't have to use cloudflare itself, just the tool).

There's even a docker version.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Update went fine on a bare metal install. Customising the webUI port is a little easier now, instead of editing lighttdp.conf I think you can do it in the UI.

I struggled to find some settings, I looked for ages for the API token. Found it in all settings: expert, scroll for half a mile down the webUI API section.

Also, struggled with adding CNAMES in bulk, I thought you could do that in the old UI. You might be able to in the new UI. I just 'one by one'd them.

Docker update went flawlessly.

I have an lxc and to go which is a task for another day, unless TTeck's updater beats me to it.

Pi-hole is one of my favorite pieces of software. It is the reason I began self-hosting six years ago.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

It seems PADD got borked. Permission thing is happening again.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I was running Pi-hole on an actual Raspberry Pi 4 that was apparently running Raspbian 10. My upgrade did not go smoothly. But I got it and I'm liking the new version. The only issue I see so far is that the admin panel in v5 used to have a "remember me for 7 days" checkbox when logging in, this version does not.
