Unable to Update pihole

[mulcade]

The pihole documentation says the way to update it is to simply type pihole -up. When I do that, I get the response of "-bash: pihole: command not found". I'm not sure if pihole is missing from a path somewhere and the pi just doesn't know where to find it. If I knew where it was, I could probably just go to the file location and run it from there. My other consideration is to reinstall pihole from the source, but I don't know what that will do to what's been configured with this repository.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.

Yeah I found that out as well, as it is a customised install follow the update guide being created here
#7

copied below for ease

Pi-hole update example

cd ~/pi-hole
docker-compose pull # pulls the latest images inside the compose file
docker-compose up -d --no-deps # restarts necessary containers with newer images
docker system prune --all # deletes unused container images

Ah, I guess I didn't realize the pi-hole was running in a container. I knew the speed test/internet monitor was, though knowing now, I'm not surprised. It does certainly explain why trying to run pihole from the terminal didn't work! haha

Thanks for the mention of the update guide #7. Using that, I was able to update all of the associate containers. Now I get to learn how to create a script to make the process less tedious. I'm new to the *nix world and having to troubleshoot and work through issues setting this up has been a rather enjoyable learning experience. Getting Python 3.9 and the latest Ansible on my Pi3+ was an interesting exercise. Ok, the Ansible was easy after getting Python updated and set to primary!

yeah a lot of this is also new to me as well glad it worked for you.

I added some basic instructions to the README for now. Also see #188 for an automated solution.
