ArchLinux Pi-hole is not officially supported by Pi-hole project. In case of bugs and malfunctions please DO NOT file a report upstream.

First of all check if the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pi-hole) can help then ask here for assistance and tips.
When it will be excluded that the problem does not depend on ArchLinux we will file a bug upstream.

to update to pi-hole 6, please use pi-hole-core pi-hole-ftl and pi-hole-web packages.

@max.bra the package builds fine for me in a clean chroot with just the base and base-devel packages installed (plus the dependencies and make dependencies of pi-hole-server). The errors I get arise when when I go to install the package in a clean chroot with just the base package installed (plus the dependencies of pi-hole-server). Since the package is being installed into a different environment from where it is built, git is no longer installed. The git package needs to be a depends and not just a makedepends since the package actually depends on git for full functionality (i.e., updatecheck).

As for the missing pihole user. The pi-hole-ftl package gets installed first and adds its pi-hole-ftl.sysuser to the correct location. I think, however, the pihole user is not created until after systemd-sysusers is restarted.

hi daniel_shub, i'm sorry for your problem but 'git' IS a makedep and FTL need to be installed before server pkg because FTL is a dep of this pkg

I am having problems installing into a really minimal environment:


installing pi-hole-server...
==> Read setup instructions at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pi-hole
==> Generating initial block list, please wait...
chown: invalid user: 'pihole:pihole'
RTNETLINK answers: Network is unreachable
Device "" does not exist.
chown: invalid user: 'pihole:pihole'
==> Creating 'versions' file...
/opt/pihole/updatecheck.sh: line 33: git: command not found
/opt/pihole/updatecheck.sh: line 33: git: command not found
/opt/pihole/updatecheck.sh: line 33: git: command not found
Optional dependencies for pi-hole-server
    lighttpd: a secure, fast, compliant and very flexible web-server [installed]
    php-cgi: CGI and FCGI SAPI for PHP needed only for lighttpd [installed]
    nginx-mainline: lightweight http server
    php-fpm: FastCGI process manager for php needed for nginx
    php-sqlite: sqlite db access for nginx [installed]

I am guessing the git error would be taken care of by making git a dependency. I am not sure why the pihole user does not exist. I think it is eventually created by pi-hole-ftl, but maybe the user is not created when the install script runs.

@vic_acid fixed, thanks for reporting.

Just found an issue in the current package (5.17.1-2):

/opt/pihole/webpage.sh contains a bad path to the pihole command. At line 27 in that file, PI_HOLE_BIN_DIR should point to "/usr/bin" and not "/usr/local/bin" as it currently does.

With the current configuration, saving any settings in the web app will not restart the FTL service as it should, requiring you to manually restart pihole-FLT.service rather than having pihole restartdns execute as intended.

It works. Thanks. Not sure why it happens.

max.bra commented on 2023-06-13 07:58 (UTC)

Can you please wipe the cache of your aur helper

Seems like arch-server-admin-5.20.1-2.patch has incorrect sha inside PKGBUILD. Can you double check?
