As the title states, im curious how to be able and manage adlists and such when using the PiHole VPN marketplace app/config
Does one have to manually install and setup a http server for this? If im not completely mistaken it seems lighttpd is already installed.
I tried accessing http://<my reserved droplet ip>/admin/index.php in my browser (both while being connected to the vpn, and not connected) but it does not seem to work
Thanks in advance

Hey!
Indeed, you are correct lighttpd is already installed and configured.
I’ve just tested this and it seems to be working as expected:
- I created a Pi Hole VPN Droplet
- Connected via the WireGuard App
- Visited
http://my_ip/adminvia my browser and I was able to login - To get a new password you would just run
sudo pihole -a -p
Note that you would need to visit this via HTTP as lighttpd is only listening on port 80 so if you visit it via HTTPS it will not load.
Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
