Hi all,

For the past few years, I’ve been running Pi-hole on a 2008 vintage Lenovo netbook running 32 bit Ubuntu 16.04.6 (command line/server version; no GUI). I was feeling froggy and upgraded some of the OS packages, and then I updated Pi-hole with the Pi-hole -up command. I encountered some sort of compatibility error and was told I could bypass it by bypassing the OS check using the “sudo PIHOLE_SKIP_OS_CHECK=true Pi-hole -r” command, which I did. Something broke, and I can no longer access the Pi-hole admin page from other devices. Can anyone help please?

Yes, I’m aware that updating/upgrading Linux should generally only be done to solve a known issue and that this was a bad idea.
