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.

So basically "pi-hole standalone" is not even a thing in upstream? I am trying to update https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pi-hole but I am not 100% confident about "pi-hole standalone" due lack of information on Arch Wiki.

@max.bra ah ok, many thanks for that explanation. I find it weird though that the wiki states the sky-hole usecase as the origin for pi-hole-standalone, since that usecase is about running it on the cloud, contrary to running it on the go on a laptop. It seems to me the server pkg is more proper for the cloud usecase.

Hi pepper_chico, of course that the standalone version auto update the blocklist.

this package differs from the server for not having the web interface and an easier configuration since everything happens in localhost. the server version assumes a dedicated device in a LAN and if we talk about a laptop, by exiting the LAN, the advertising blocking service fails. the standalone version is designed to have on your laptop a light version of pihole that follows you and self-manages.

The Wiki states "The Arch Linux Pi-hole Standalone variant is born from the need to use Pi-hole services in a mobile context". What does that mean? Specially the "mobile context" part.

I'm trying to understand how this differs from pi-hole-server package. From the "standalone" designation it looks like it's targeted to run and self-update (the blocklist at least)?

I wished a clear explanation of what it provides of different.

Hi, whenever I run this, I get:

/usr/bin/pihole: line 15: /opt/pihole/COL_TABLE: No such file or directory

and indeed, the first noncomment lines of /usr/bin/pihole are:

readonly PI_HOLE_SCRIPT_DIR="/opt/pihole" readonly wildcardlist="/etc/dnsmasq.d/03-pihole-wildcard.conf" readonly colfile="${PI_HOLE_SCRIPT_DIR}/COL_TABLE" source "${colfile}"

…while /opt/pihole/ only conteins: gravity.sh list.sh mimic_setupVars.conf.sh webpage.sh
