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.

I have problems with the permissions of the "/dev/shm/FTL-*" files. After reboot they are set to "root:root" and pihole works just for a short time and then stops resolving DNS queries with "Lost connection to API" on the web-UI. I have to manually chown the files to "pihole:pihole" and restart the service for the server to work reliably. Also all query data is lost every time I reboot the system or restart the pihole-FTL.service. Does anyone has a solution?

EDIT: Still have that problem. Can someone please tell me the standard permissions for /dev/shm/FTL-* ? I do not know if they have to be root:root. All problems are gone when I chown them to pihole:pihole and restart pihole-FTL.service.

Edit2: Can someone please tell me the output of "ls -l /dev/shm/FTL-*"?

Anyone has any idea why pi-hole is incredibly slow?

1.1.1.1/help takes like 15seconds to finish, when without pi-hole it takes like 1-2 sec?

EDIT: Pi-Hole f***ing sucks to me. I found alternative called grimd which works kinda same as Pi-Hole, without fancy charts, with nice config file and has super great performance while supporting DOH. I even made https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grimd-git/ AUR package... Finally no more php/sqlite/web server nightmares and most important - no more issues with performance...

Should pi-hole be moved under /usr/share/webapps instead of /srv/http/? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Web_application_package_guidelines

Oh well, understand ! I build it before upgrade

$ sudo pihole-FTL no-daemon
pihole-FTL: error while loading shared libraries: libhogweed.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Rebuilt it and now ok, thank you for your support max and the pihole-FTL command

Hi @max.bra, I'm using this package for updating my pihole gravity list, base on that i need to disable piholes auto update in this location: /etc/cron.d/pihole and this file doesn't exists and right now pihole update gravity list every week.

Edit: I just found out about pi-hole-gravity.timer and stop and disable it. Is that enough?
