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.

@grappas hi and thanks for reporting.
the developers have deeply modified the latest version of the web admin without changing the numbering (and there are sed errors). very strange, a mistake on their part is possible, I don't think it was intentional. let's see what happens in the next few hours... in the meantime, modifying the PKGBUILD, use version 5.19 of the web-admin.

 _wwwpkgver=5.19
 ...
 "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/max72bra/pi-hole-server-archlinux-customization/master/arch-server-admin-$_wwwpkgver-1.patch"

of course, resum everything...

@daniel back home and see a missed new function 'get_remote_hash', fixed w/o release bump. thanks for reporting.

I can get the git issue during runtime with pihole updatechecker. I am not sure how useful running that command is and if it is fully documented/supported. I also get the git issue during installation. I think there are two questions/issues:

1) Can you (or anyone) reproduce my "bug report" with errors regarding git and the missing pihole user when installing into a clean chroot.

2) If my bug report is reproducible, is it worth fixing the PKGBUILD.

I am not familiar enough with sysuser files to know if the missing user issue can be solved by simply restarting systemd-sysusers. If that is the case, I am not sure if it should be restarted in this package or the ftl package.

Adding git as a runtime dependency will protect against any runtime code pathways that depend on git. If it is really only obscure uses, adding it as a optional dependency seems warranted. That said, the package install script is not an obscure usage. In fact, it is essentially a mandatory usage. Adding git as a runtime dependency would only partially deal with the issue of running updatecheck.sh in the package install script; there is a chicken and egg loop since updatecheck.sh needs external internet access to setup a DNS, but external internet access requires a configured DNS. While not explicitly mentioned in the packaging guidelines, I think packages should support offline installation. I am not sure why updatecheck.sh is even run in the install script.

at runtime you never get there... and, don't read upstream source, read AUR modified source

daniel_shub commented on 2023-08-21 14:17 (UTC)

@max.bra I am not sure what I am double checking for, but updatecheck.sh (https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/v5.17.1/advanced/Scripts/updatecheck.sh) calls git on line 33 just like the error I get says:


function get_remote_hash(){
    git ls-remote "https://github.com/pi-hole/${1}" --tags "${2}" | awk '{print substr($0, 0,8);}' || return 1
}

and get_remote_hash is called on line 83


GITHUB_CORE_HASH="$(get_remote_hash pi-hole "${CORE_BRANCH}")"

It looks like the git dependencies were added in this commit https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/commit/888e44e53d81f505f958322f411cfcc96269f4b8

Can you build the package in a clean chroot and then install it in another clean chroot?

max.bra commented on 2023-08-21 13:59 (UTC)

please, double check updatecheck.sh

daniel_shub commented on 2023-08-21 11:56 (UTC)

@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.
