Phad not showing pihole as updated

[ghost]

Today’s pihole 5.1 update isn’t showing as installed on screen still showing 5.0 as installed versions for web/FTL/pihole

What does the output of pihole -v -f show?

FTL version is v5.1 (Latest: v5.1)

That should be reflected by phad, eventually. The version information is only checked once every 24 hours as it's something that doesn't change very often, and it also queries https://github.com/bpennypacker/phad/releases/latest for checking the latest version of phad itself. I suppose I could change that so that the pihole version is checked more often, like every hour, and github is only checked every 24 hours.

If it's still showing the old version for you and you want to force it to refresh, you can delete the file where phad keeps the version information (what data_file in phad.conf points to, /tmp/pihole.dat by default). If you do that then it should update the version the next time it cycles through fetching all the data from pihole.

Ok in my config it says that file is in ./phad.dat so it’s in install dir not tmp I have removed the .dat file and it’s now correct on screen

Great. I'll definitely look into refactoring the version checks to avoid this sort of confusion in the future.

Great thank you! Appreciate the help
