Hi max.bra!
I'm aware of that option, but that would still leave this package dropping a permissions file on my system, granting a priviledge to a user that I do not want that user to have... Philosophically speaking, I find that offensive, because it makes the package willfully overwrite security decisions the sysadmin has made. I feel that this is exactly the kind of situation the the backup= array and .pacnew files are for.
So, could you please humour me? :)
hi Taijian, there's no need to modify default file. you can create another file ('/etc/sudoers.d/my-pihole') containing 'pihole ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/pihole' to obtain same result and no overwrite risk.
Hi @max.bra!
I have a tiny request to make: Could you please add /etc/sudoers.d/pihole to the backup= array? I'm asking because I run pihole's php-fpm instance as the pihole user instead of the http user, because there are other php-fpm instances also running on the same server, and so for security reasons I like to keep them seperate. I have therefore modified /etc/sudoers.d/pihole to accomodate that difference, but unfortunately the file gets overwritten every time pi-hole-server updates...
It can be done much easier...
1) pacman -S php7 php7-cgi php7-sqlite
2) open /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf with a text editor and replace "/usr/bin/php-cgi" with "/usr/bin/php-cgi7", same with "/tmp/php-fastcgi.sock" which becomes "/tmp/php7-fastcgi.sock"
3) systemctl restart lighttpd.service
If you want to switch back to recent php just change the two text parts in lighttpd.conf (or hold a second configuration file which you apply at the start of lighttpd)
@kusky thanks for reporting!
this package depends on core/inetutils
/opt/pihole/chronometer.sh: line 245: hostname: command not found
@max.bra - not sure what the problem was/didn't see anything diagnostic in logs, thanks for the offer. Will wait for next release and try that.
@graysky sorry for late reply, back home today. i double checked my web admin interface and all seems normal... how can i help?
@max.bra - I downgraded to 5.3.1-3 when I found my web interface on 5.3.1-4 to be in a busy state. None of the menu items works and the banners across the top were displaying the animation for getting data. Pihole continued to process queries.

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.
