customCnameEntries not working

[Thorsten2605]

I configured my release.yaml this way:

    dnsmasq:
      customSettings: |
        local-service=0
      customDnsEntries:
        - address=/traefik.XXX.com/172.20.10.100
      customCnameEntries:
        - cname=wiki.XXX.com,traefik.XXX.com
        - cname=pihole.XXX.com,traefik.XXX.com

(XXX only for invisible domain-name)

But if I do a nslookup on wiki.XXX.com I don't get the IP address of traefik.XXX.com.

Is there anything wrong placed in the dnsmasq-config?

I was able to resolve by removing the customDns entries from my chart values. I use a PV for my deployment so the custom CNAMEs I create had populated into pihole.toml. It seems that they are read from pinhole.toml AND the custom dnsmasq so, there was a conflict after all since they were duplicated.

It seems the migration to pihole.toml occurs one time on the migration from 5 to 6. https://github.com/pi-hole/docker-pi-hole/blob/78aee9e4b2089263359d6d7e2847028f237b7aef/src/bash_functions.sh#L152. Introduced by this: pi-hole/docker-pi-hole#1683

But the chart sets https://docs.pi-hole.net/docker/upgrading/v5-v6/?h=custom#custom-dnsmasq-config-fileshttps://docs.pi-hole.net/docker/upgrading/v5-v6/?h=custom#custom-dnsmasq-config-files to read from the dnsmasq config file as well and the values were migrated already so, there is in fact a duplicate.

Basically, you need them in the custom files at least once to migrate them and then after that, you don't want them in the custom files anymore.

I have a fresh installation of pihole v6 but the customDnsEntries or adlists don't seem to work at all. Customdns file is not populated at all, adlist gets created under root:root but still nothing is present if I check in the WEBUI.

It is possible to set custom entries via environment variables.

For example,

extraEnvVars:
  FTLCONF_dns_listeningMode: SINGLE
  FTLCONF_dns_hosts: 192.168.0.100 host-1.internal;192.168.0.101 host-2.internal
