PSA: Pi-Hole 6.2.2 is broken on Alpine Linux + Fix

UPDATE 2025/06/21 – I’ve contacted the Pi-Hole package maintainer for Alpine Linux and it has now been fixed and updated to 6.2.3!
Please disregard everything else in this post

 


 

Quick PSA: I’ve just noticed Pi-Hole 6.2.2 crashing every 2-3 minutes on my Alpine Linux machine and the reason is that pihole-FTL is broken.

This is a super easy fix, just update pihole-FTL to 6.2.3 manually and you’re good to go.

Download it via https://ftl.pi-hole.net/v6.2.3/ and pick the appropriate architecture.

chmod +x it and move it to /usr/bin/

service pihole restart

Done.

You’re welcome.
