## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Permission problems:
|
||||
|
||||
NetAlertX cannot read Pi-hole DB (`/etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.db`) due to permissions:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Plugins] ⚠ ERROR: ATTACH DATABASE failed with SQL ERROR: unable to open database: /etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.db
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Solution:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Mount full Pi-hole directory (read-only):**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
- /etc/pihole:/etc/pihole:ro
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Add NetAlertX to Pi-hole group:**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
group_add:
|
||||
- 1001 # check with `getent group pihole`
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Verify:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker exec -it netalertx id
|
||||
# groups=1001,... ✅ pihole group included
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
* Avoid mounting single DB files.
|
||||
* Keep mount read-only (`:ro`) to protect Pi-hole data.
|
||||
* Use `group_add` instead of chmod.
