Can I help you, eg. provide additional informations or config files ?

Think, where is or will be a problem to get:

pihole -r

and

pihole -up

to run proper on lighttp and all different web stacks.

A bit off-topic. Would there be a possibility to specify the port that Pi Hole uses for the web administration panel? That way other services can utilize port 80.

@LexiconCode
The current implementation should allow other services to use port 80 as well, as PiHole web ui ist just available via .../pihole sub location. But currently PiHole reconfiguration and update breaks this, as it reapplies it's own Lighttpd config, at least if there is an update for the web ui available.
€: Ah if really another process/service (besides webserver) needs to bind to port 80, then the webserver that runs Pi-hole web interface, needs to use another port, thus vhosts need to be adjusted e.g. But I would always leave webserver at 80 (+443) and then better run all other server on other ports.

Hui, we have now 3 issues opened about basically the same topic:

• https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1313
• https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1375
• https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1623

Need to merge this, collecting all helpful information...

As PiHole is great stuff that is widely used by our users, I wan't to focus a bid to get this solved, e.g. via pihole service hooks, as mentioned within the other topic. For practical reasons just need a quick possibility to fake a lower version for pihole -up 😉.
