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.

Hi @max.bra, I recently installed pi-hole on my private server running Manjaro linux. I set it up to only use cloudflare servers as upstream dns in the web interface. However, for the majority of requests, pi-hole uses the google dns to respond to requests. I filed a git issue here with some more information (knowing now that I shouldn't have filed it): https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/issues/4626

I didn't find any help in the comments, on github or the arch wiki page. Which additional information do you need?

hi jxir. added, thanks for reporting.

> pihole enable
/usr/bin/pihole: line 25: /opt/pihole/utils.sh: No such file or directory

The file utils.sh is missing from the package. Adding the corresponding install command fixed the problem for me. Possibly more files are missing.

@XenHat yes nice and good point but we cannot patch upstream source code to remove a core dependency... this goes a little further an AUR package, I think... don't you?

XenHat commented on 2022-01-05 21:54 (UTC)

In response to the core/inetutils dependency pointed out by @kusky, it can be avoided by patching chronometer.sh to use hostnamectl hostname instead which returns the same value.

@starquake if you take a look at various patches applied to ftl, core and web admin you will see that we try to optimize the experience (like SD write cicle) adapting pi-hole in an arch way. Using the bin version will reset all our work.

I am working also with RPI 3B+. I do not have any problems with pihole performance - even if it is compiling. Process of compiling takes some minutes - but you cannot see any impact on running pihole. Maybe there are other processes (like a GUI) eating ressorces. I have located the out-of-memory-issue when compile pi-hole-server by watching 'top' on another console. You can see there memory is going lower and lower and if it reaches zero compiler shuts down. If you have performance problems with pi-hole it would be a good step to look at normal operation conditions using 'top'.

@max.bra I understand building from sources is recommended. And I agree with that. But some AUR packages have a -bin package for convenience. So that's why I asked. Because I would find that convenient. But maybe that's not a concern for most people.

Swapping will help but the machine gets really slow sometimes. And then pihole gets slow. I'll see if I can do cross compiling. Or maybe upgrade.

Thanks!

@starquake hi, FTL has compile problems on systems with less than about 800MB of free RAM.
The binaries are already made available by the original developers but archlinux policies, where possible, recommend compiling the sources.
You can brilliantly solve the problem by configuring even only 512MB of swap or if possible do a cross compiling with your other device on the network (plus: also speeding things up).

df8oe commented on 2022-01-04 08:41 (UTC)

I do not think a binary package is necessary. Simply activate swap to get rid of this problem.
