I’ll have to take a peak at the logs. I’ve been running the server nearly headless but with this issue I cannot access my server over my lan so I’m going to have to physically plug a screen and keyboard into it later.
Comment on I’m about to throw my entire Pihole out the window

Taking a look at your Pihole logs is going to be helpful. Also knowing what kind of device is running the Pihole software may also help.
I had Pihole running on a raspberry pi 3 years ago, and I had pretty consistent issues. I’ve run it on other hardware since without a problem.
It could be an issue with the SD card, if you’re using a raspberry pi. I’ve also read that the log file can grow large enough to cause issues with your Pihole instance.
So there are a number of possibilities.

One last piece of advice: Pihole has great support. I’ve gotten a ton of answers and assistance from the Pihole Sub on Reddit. I don’t know if it’s still active since the migration away from Reddit, but you may ask.

I’d rather ask here and start building up the knowledge base off Reddit but you’re right.
I think I know my problem though (something I’m not able to fix aaaaa)
Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 1 year ago
I agree. Unfortunately I don’t think u/jfb-pihole is on Lemmy and they’re one of the devs (I think) for Pihole. Best of luck with your issue!

Yep, not having DNS/DHCP is a pain in the ass. When mine went down it would take my network with it because the Pihole was handling both. Expected but also a pain in the ass.

What’s the other hardware you run it on without issues?
Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 1 year ago
I ran it on a linux-based NAS as well as a window server. I don’t use Pihole currently, however.

what do you run if i may ask?
