--server doesnt work when pihole is running locally #448

darkexplosiveqwx · 2025-03-17T21:00:01Z

Describe the bug
running ./padd.sh --server 192.168.178.88 --secret shh displays information on the pihole running locally
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
I have pihole running locally and my user is part of the pihole group.
When running ./padd.sh --server 192.168.178.88 --secret shh i get information displayed about the local pihole not the one on .88
The ip needs to be running pihole, for example
./padd.sh --server 192.168.178.89 --secret shh will result padd on getting stuck on the loading screen.

Expected behavior
Display information about 192.168.178.88

Please run

bash -x ./padd.sh --server 192.168.178.88 --secret shh

And post the last lines of output

I think I know what the issue is:

The dig command got answered with pi.hole, since but this machine is using itself and 1.1.1.1 as dns, pi.hole will resolve to be itself.

So you're having two Pi-holes in your network with both using the domain pi.hole?
Does it work when you change the webserver.domain on .88 to something else?

darkexplosiveqwx · 2025-03-17T22:11:27Z

I changed webserver.domain to eap.lan, this fails because eap.lan has no dns entry on localhost

Potential fix? Trying to resolve the domain via the server set with —server instead of implying that the host machine uses the pihole its PADDing to as DNS?

I think you are correct with your analysis. Let me think about how to properly fix this. (I think we had some internal discussion about domain.api.ftl)

yubiuser · 2025-03-18T12:38:56Z

We are likely not going to change the response for domain.api.ftl. So we need to adjust PADD, or you create a host entry for the second Pi-hole domain on the first device.

I submitted #450 , which removes the dns lookup for webserver.domain

yubiuser · 2025-03-19T11:05:39Z

Thank you. I'll review after my vacation in around 2 weeks
