If you don’t know what is Pi-hole, stop reading this post and read this website instead: https:\/\/pi-hole.net<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of hosting my Pi-hole on a Raspberry Pi, I use Ubuntu Server on a VMware host. Even using LTS versions of Ubuntu Server get outdated, so here’s a how-to for getting the guest updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Backup your server somehow. I use Veeam as well as take a VMware snapshot. You could also use Acronis at boot time and take an image.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. sudo reboot<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. sudo apt install update-manager-core<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. sudo do-release-upgrade<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. sudo reboot<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    You’ll get prompted throughout the process multiple times multiple questions. I chose to kept custom modified file as-is and not revert to the package original. Clear out all outdated packages as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    After successfully updating Ubuntu Server, you’ll have to run the following command to fix Pi-hole. Also make sure Webmin is the latest version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    sudo rm \/etc\/dnsmasq.d\/lxd<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n
