I was trying to make my RPI into a hotspot, i managed to mess up my eth0 which now shows as end0, which breaks my PiHole aswell, been trying to search for a while and found no fix

k9t33n

jeesus never heard of this

.zatara

Yup, i managed to fk up my PiHole

.zatara

port aswell

.zatara

-_-

k9t33n

wth did you do?

.zatara

I was trying to make my rpi into a wifi hotspot, while trying, it broke my pihole dns, i managed to fix that part but now pihole is saying that Warning in dnsmasq core: interface eth0 does not currently exist

k9t33n

yes but what did you try to mess up that bad?

.zatara

turning off the hotspot and

.zatara

i did

k9t33n

turning off the hotspot that it?

.zatara

Disable hotspot
To disable the hotspot network and resume use of your Pi as a wireless client, run the following command:

sudo nmcli device disconnect wlan0
After disabling the network, run the following command to reconnect to another Wi-Fi network:

sudo nmcli device up wlan0

.zatara

hey

.zatara

w8

.zatara

i fixed it

.zatara

im too drunk n tired for this

.zatara

sudo nmcli device up eth0

k9t33n

oh great

.zatara

was googling for too long and just answered my own question by looking back at what i did

.zatara

so technically u steered me in right direction

k9t33n

lol

.zatara

thanks man

k9t33n

np ig

.zatara

i was trying to make my RPI a hotspot aswell, which worked, but i had no internet when connected to it and it also messed up my PiHole port/dns settings

k9t33n

I mean I did nothing. I've only had 1 threads like this before and it was my first one so thanks for bringing back the memory. I'll never forget that day lol it makes me happy

k9t33n

yes making your pi a hotspot disconnects it to your network and then it cant actually access the internet so the best you can do is ssh into it

.zatara

so can't use the pi as a wifi hotspot?

k9t33n

not as a proper one no uncle you get like a mobile data module or something

.zatara

It's a rpi4b it can already transmit a hotspot? Or it's just to ssh into it\cant have internet?

k9t33n

the second one

k9t33n

it's useful to connect to it via SSH and vnc from anywhere though

oops.se

If you add a Hotspot to the Raspberry Pi you also need at least to enable routing and perhaps some other stuff

oops.se

And yes then you can use the Raspberry Pi as a "wireless access point"

.zatara

How about RaspAP and Pihole?

oops.se

What OS is it you have?

.zatara

Normal latest raspi os

oops.se

Then will HostAP not work, it works with Bullseye not Bookworm

.zatara

Oh, why doesn't it work? I had managed to make it to an access point without internet yesterday?

oops.se

That was what I read yesterday from their web, Perhaps we talk about different hostap

oops.se

Ahhh now I see, you are talking about hostap the service and I was thinking of the HostAP a captive portal project on Github.

My bad
