- `PIHOLE_RUN` is used to enable the import by setting it e.g. to `schedule` or `once` (pre-set to `disabled`)
- `PIHOLE_RUN_SCHD` is to configure how often the plugin is executed if `PIHOLE_RUN` is set to `schedule` (pre-set to every 30 min)
- `PIHOLE_DB_PATH` setting must match the location of your PiHole database (pre-set to `/etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.db`)
## 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.
