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.

Can't get this to work properly and wiki doesn't help either.

Please rename the tarball so it has pkgname in the filename. Thanks.

@ilcavero uhmm, i think the reason is: it's a mistake!! i will add them ASAP...

Hi @max.bra, thanks for the package, is there are reason why the chronometer and version scripts are not included?

pihole chronometer and pihole version commands fail due to undefined functions.

hi coxackie. for standalone version you need, as you said and as you read in the wiki, DNS service and pi-hole blocking enabled AND name resolving pointing to localhost. stop. nothing else.
pihole-FTL.service (since version 4 dnsmasq has been forked and integrated) IS the DNS server service (and a logger not so relevant in standalone version) and it is statically enabled. you need to mask it or it will always start with your system.

Hi @max.bra, thanks for your work. I have a naive question: how can we check that indeed all is running well? I have installed, not done anything regarding DNS, I run pihole status and get

  [✓] DNS service is running
  [✓] Pi-hole blocking is Enabled

Does this mean that all is good? Otherwise, could you explain a bit better how to set 127.0.0.1 so it is the only DNS server in use, as the wiki mentions? Is it just a matter of having nameserver 127.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf, or it requires more? Furthermore, does one need to start pihole-FTL.service, or is it optional in case one needs logs?
