How to update Pi-hole
New Course Coming Soon:
Get Really Good at Git
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.
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs
rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time
you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT
or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your
problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need to use,
but few of us really master it. I created this course to
improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical
level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with
Git. Launching May 21, 2024. Join the waiting list!
