Unable To Connect

Open VeniceNerd opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

I just purchased Pi Hole and can't get it to connect to my PiHole at all. I even disabled the password for PiHole and it still doesn't work.

Here are the Preferences: Screen Shot 2020-06-16 at 10 55 52 AM

And here is my PiHole interface: Screen Shot 2020-06-16 at 10 58 54 AM

I'm not sure if it matters but I'm running PiHole in a docker. Any idea why this doesn't work?

I think that you need to put the IP address in the "hostname" field. The admin URL will be auto-generated for you, you can leave it blank.

You could also edit your /etc/hosts File via Terminal, so that your Mac knows that the Hostname PiHole is your IP 192.168.178.10

I have done that for my two PiHoles...
