Arch Linux User Repository

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.

@raffaem yep, sorry for not reporting. it should work as expected now.

@max.bra I saw it was updated. Does it work now?

@raffaem no it's not. i'm away these days and will patch this next week. thanks for reporting.

When I start pi-hole-logtruncate.service I get an error about undefined flushFunc function.

Is it a bug upstream?

hi Good_Days13, sorry but i missed a string terminator in sedded webpage.sh. Please try now.
p.s.: this had always worked on manjaro... should be true for today too
p.s.2: don't know why on checksum error... maybe i forgot a push... sorry2

I'm on manjaro and when I try to make this it fails a validity check.

I used updpkgsums to bypass it, but it isn't working and when I run pihole -a I get this:

/opt/pihole/webpage.sh: line 100: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/opt/pihole/webpage.sh: line 100: `    local ipv4elem="(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9]?|0)";'
/usr/bin/pihole: line 36: main: command not found

does this work on manjaro?

@ultraquist thanks for reporting. given that this package deserves more love, perhaps it's time to enable the same log rules as the server version. please let me know.

Hi, Sorry if this is a problem on my end or upstream, but logging doesn't seem to be working anymore, using pihole logging on. Issuing pihole -t to view the log tail gives:

  [i] Press Ctrl-C to exit
tail: cannot open '/var/log/pihole.log' for reading: No such file or directory
tail: no files remaining

It seems there has been some deletions to /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf. Adding these lines seems to fix:

log-queries
log-facility=/var/log/pihole.log
log-async

With /var/log/pihole.log existing with pihole:pihole ownership.

I think these lines are necessary, since /usr/bin/pihole just seems to try toggling the commenting on these lines using sed.

hi Prakkie, i think you have posted in wrong package. you talk about UI but standalone version has CLI only. anyway, can you please reset your browser cache and continue this discussion in server package?
