Issue installing pihole

Help Synology
1

So had some issue with records not showing either, after reading a lot I kinda broke the debain chroot, so removed it from my synology, reinstalled the debian from the community, followed every step in the guide but when I try to install pi-hole this happens:

root@DiskStation:/# curl -L https://install.pi-hole.net | bash

Try rebooting to apply the kernel patch and try again.

  [✓] Stopping dnsmasq service...

However it did install and now I'm back in the situation where no entries are being shown due to the dnsmasq: extraneous parameter at line 37 of /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf log-queries=extra

I've read a post about fixing that for raspberry but that doesn't work for a synology any suggestions on that Jacob?

OK, you're version of dnsmasq is probably too low. You can

  • checkout FTLDNS
  • revert Pi-hole to a lower version
  • find and install and upgraded version of dnsmasq

Here are some relevant links

Yeah I've downgraded for now, cheers.
