How to update Pi-hole
I installed my Raspberry Pi as a network-wide adblocker with Pi-hole.
It works great.
Sometimes it’s necessary to update the Pi-hole software because new releases are updated, and so on.
You will see this notice at the bottom of the Pi-hole admin interface:
You can update it manually by logging in the Raspberry Pi, using VNC or SSH, and then run the
pihole -up
command.
And the version will be updated:
You can setup a script to run pihole -up from time to time automatically, using a cron job.
Run crontab -e and then at the bottom add
0 6 * * * pihole -up
to run it every day at 6am.
