+- Always prioritize using the appropriate tools in the environment first. As an example if a test is failing use `testFailure` then `runTests`. Never `runTests` first.

-### Loading...
+# Troubleshooting Common Issues
 
-Often if the application is misconfigured the `Loading...` dialog is continuously displayed. This is most likely caused by the backed failing to start. The **Maintenance -> Logs** section should give you more details on what's happening. If there is no exception, check the Portainer log, or start the container in the foreground (without the `-d` parameter) to observe any exceptions. It's advisable to enable `trace` or `debug`. Check the [Debug tips](./DEBUG_TIPS.md) on detailed instructions. 
+> [!TIP]
+> Before troubleshooting, ensure you have set the correct [Debugging and LOG_LEVEL](./DEBUG_TIPS.md).
 
-### Incorrect SCAN_SUBNETS
+---
 
-One of the most common issues is not configuring `SCAN_SUBNETS` correctly. If this setting is misconfigured you will only see one or two devices in your devices list after a scan. Please read the [subnets docs](./SUBNETS.md) carefully to resolve this.
+## Docker Container Doesn't Start
 
-### Duplicate devices and notifications
-
-The app uses the MAC address as an unique identifier for devices. If a new MAC is detected a new device is added to the application and corresponding notifications are triggered. This means that if the MAC of an existing device changes, the device will be logged as a new device. You can usually prevent this from happening by changing the device configuration (in Android, iOS, or Windows) for your network. See the [Random Macs](./RANDOM_MAC.md) guide for details. 
+Initial setup issues are often caused by **missing permissions** or **incorrectly mapped volumes**. Always double-check your `docker run` or `docker-compose.yml` against the [official setup guide](./DOCKER_INSTALLATION.md) before proceeding.
 
 ### Permissions
 
-Make sure you [File permissions](./FILE_PERMISSIONS.md) are set correctly.
+Make sure your [file permissions](./FILE_PERMISSIONS.md) are correctly set:
 
-* If facing issues (AJAX errors, can't write to DB, empty screen, etc,) make sure permissions are set correctly, and check the logs under `/tmp/log`. 
-* To solve permission issues you can try setting the owner and group of the `app.db` by executing the following on the host system: `docker exec netalertx chown -R www-data:www-data /data/db/app.db`. 
-* If still facing issues, try to map the app.db file (⚠ not folder) to `:/data/db/app.db` (see [docker-compose Examples](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/blob/main/dockerfiles/README.md#-docker-composeyml-examples) for details)
+* If you encounter AJAX errors, cannot write to the database, or see an empty screen, check that permissions are correct and review the logs under `/tmp/log`.
+* To fix permission issues with the database, update the owner and group of `app.db` as described in the [File Permissions guide](./FILE_PERMISSIONS.md).

-### Invalid JSON
+## Docker Container Starts, But the Application Misbehaves
 
-Check the [Invalid JSON errors debug help](./DEBUG_INVALID_JSON.md) docs on how to proceed.
+If the container starts but the app shows unexpected behavior, the cause is often **data corruption**, **incorrect configuration**, or **unexpected input data**.
 
-### sudo execution failing (e.g.: on arpscan) on a Raspberry Pi 4

-Resolution based on [this issue](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-papermerge/issues/4#issuecomment-1003657581)
+**Steps to troubleshoot:**
+
+1. Check **Maintenance → Logs** for exceptions.
+2. If no exception is visible, check the Portainer logs.
+3. Start the container in the foreground to observe exceptions.
+4. Enable `trace` or `debug` logging for detailed output (see [Debug Tips](./DEBUG_TIPS.md)).
+5. Verify that `GRAPHQL_PORT` is correctly configured.
+6. Check browser logs (press `F12`):
+
+   * **Console tab** → refresh the page
+   * **Network tab** → refresh the page
+
+If you are unsure how to resolve errors, provide screenshots or log excerpts in your issue report or Discord discussion.

+
+### Common Configuration Issues
+
+#### Incorrect `SCAN_SUBNETS`
+
+If `SCAN_SUBNETS` is misconfigured, you may see only a few devices in your device list after a scan. See the [Subnets Documentation](./SUBNETS.md) for proper configuration.
+
+#### Duplicate Devices and Notifications
+
+* Devices are identified by their **MAC address**.
+* If a device's MAC changes, it will be treated as a new device, triggering notifications.
+* Prevent this by adjusting your device configuration for Android, iOS, or Windows. See the [Random MACs Guide](./RANDOM_MAC.md).
+
+#### Unable to Resolve Host
+
+* Ensure `SCAN_SUBNETS` uses the correct mask and `--interface`.
+* Refer to the [Subnets Documentation](./SUBNETS.md) for detailed guidance.
+
+#### Invalid JSON Errors
+
+* Follow the steps in [Invalid JSON Errors Debug Help](./DEBUG_INVALID_JSON.md).
+
+#### Sudo Execution Fails (e.g., on arpscan on Raspberry Pi 4)
+
+Error:
 
 ```
+sudo: unexpected child termination condition: 0

+* On devices with multiple Ethernet ports, you may need to change `eth0` to the correct interface.
 
-### Losing my settings and devices after an update
+#### Losing Settings or Devices After Update
 
-If you lose your devices and/or settings after an update that means you don't have the `/data/db` and `/data/config` folders mapped to a permanent storage. That means every time you update these folders are re-created. Make sure you have the [volumes specified correctly](./DOCKER_COMPOSE.md) in your `docker-compose.yml` or run command.
+* Ensure `/data/db` and `/data/config` are mapped to persistent storage.
+* Without persistent volumes, these folders are recreated on every update.
+* See [Docker Volumes Setup](./DOCKER_COMPOSE.md) for proper configuration.
 
+#### Application Performance Issues
 
-### The application is slow
+Slowness can be caused by:
+
+* Incorrect settings (causing app restarts) → check `app.log`.
+* Too many background processes → disable unnecessary scanners.
+* Long scans → limit the number of scanned devices.
+* Excessive disk operations or failing maintenance plugins.
+
+> See [Performance Tips](./PERFORMANCE.md) for detailed optimization steps.
 
-Slowness is usually caused by incorrect settings (the app might restart, so check the `app.log`), too many background processes (disable unnecessary scanners), too long scans (limit the number of scanned devices), too many disk operations, or some maintenance plugins might have failed. See the [Performance tips](./PERFORMANCE.md) docs for details.

 ### Modification 1: Use a Local Folder (Bind Mount)
 
-By default, the baseline compose file uses "named volumes" (`netalertx_config`, `netalertx_db`). **This is the preferred method** because NetAlertX is designed to manage all configuration and database settings directly from its web UI. Named volumes let Docker handle this data cleanly without you needing to manage local file permissions or paths.
+By default, the baseline compose file uses a single named volume (netalertx_data) mounted at /data. This single-volume layout is preferred because NetAlertX manages both configuration and the database under /data (for example, /data/config and /data/db) via its web UI. Using one named volume simplifies permissions and portability: Docker manages the storage and NetAlertX manages the files inside /data.
+
+A two-volume layout that mounts /data/config and /data/db separately (for example, netalertx_config and netalertx_db) is supported for backward compatibility and some advanced workflows, but it is an abnormal/legacy layout and not recommended for new deployments. 
 
 However, if you prefer to have direct, file-level access to your configuration for manual editing, a "bind mount" is a simple alternative. This tells Docker to use a specific folder from your computer (the "host") inside the container.

 ### Initial setup
 
 - If unavailable, the app generates a default `app.conf` and `app.db` file on the first run.
-- The preferred way is to manage the configuration via the Settings section in the UI, if UI is inaccessible you can modify [app.conf](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/tree/main/back) in the `/data/config/` folder directly

 #### Setting up scanners
 
-You have to specify which network(s) should be scanned. This is done by entering subnets that are accessible from the host. If you use the default `ARPSCAN` plugin, you have to specify at least one valid subnet and interface in the `SCAN_SUBNETS` setting. See the documentation on [How to set up multiple SUBNETS, VLANs and what are limitations](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/blob/main/docs/SUBNETS.md) for troubleshooting and more advanced scenarios.

 # Managing File Permissions for NetAlertX on a Read-Only Container
 
+Sometimes, permission issues arise if your existing host directories were created by a previous container running as root or another UID. The container will fail to start with "Permission Denied" errors.
+
 > [!TIP]
 > NetAlertX runs in a **secure, read-only Alpine-based container** under a dedicated `netalertx` user (UID 20211, GID 20211). All writable paths are either mounted as **persistent volumes** or **`tmpfs` filesystems**. This ensures consistent file ownership and prevents privilege escalation.
 
+Try starting the container with all data to be in non-persistent volumes. If this works, the issue might be related to the permissions of your persistent data mount locations on your server.
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm --network=host \
+  -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \

+3. Update the Docker file mount locations in your `docker-compose.yml` or docker run command (See below **New Docker mount locations**).
 4. Rename the DB and conf files to `app.db` and `app.conf` and place them in the appropriate location.
 5. Start the container
 
 
-> [!TIP] 
-> If you have trouble accessing past backups, config or database files you can copy them into the newly mapped directories, for example by running this command in the container:  `cp -r /data/config /home/pi/pialert/config/old_backup_files`. This should create a folder in the `config` directory called `old_backup_files` containing all the files in that location. Another approach is to map the old location and the new one at the same time to copy things over.

 #### New Docker mount locations
 
 The internal application path in the container has changed from `/home/pi/pialert` to `/app`. Update your volume mounts as follows:
 
- | Old mount point | New mount point | 
- |----------------------|---------------| 
+ | Old mount point | New mount point |
+ |----------------------|---------------|
  | `/home/pi/pialert/config` | `/data/config` |
  | `/home/pi/pialert/db` | `/data/db` |
 
 
  If you were mounting files directly, please note the file names have changed:
 
- | Old file name | New file name | 
- |----------------------|---------------| 
+ | Old file name | New file name |
+ |----------------------|---------------|
  | `pialert.conf` | `app.conf` |
  | `pialert.db` | `app.db` |
 
 
-> [!NOTE] 
+> [!NOTE]
 > The application automatically creates symlinks from the old database and config locations to the new ones, so data loss should not occur. Read the [backup strategies](./BACKUPS.md) guide to backup your setup.

 # Performance Optimization Guide
 
-There are several ways to improve the application's performance. The application has been tested on a range of devices, from a Raspberry Pi 4 to NAS and NUC systems. If you are running the application on a lower-end device, carefully fine-tune the performance settings to ensure an optimal user experience.
+There are several ways to improve the application's performance. The application has been tested on a range of devices, from Raspberry Pi 4 units to NAS and NUC systems. If you are running the application on a lower-end device, fine-tuning the performance settings can significantly improve the user experience.
 
 ## Common Causes of Slowness
 
 Performance issues are usually caused by:

 ## Storing Temporary Files in Memory
 
-On systems with slower I/O speeds, you can optimize performance by storing temporary files in memory. This primarily applies to the API directory (default: `/tmp/api`, configurable via `NETALERTX_API`) and `/tmp/log` folders.
+On devices with slower I/O, you can improve performance by storing temporary files (and optionally the database) in memory using `tmpfs`.
 
-Using `tmpfs` reduces disk writes and improves performance. However, it should be **disabled** if persistent logs or API data storage are required.
+> [!WARNING]
+> Storing the **database** in `tmpfs` is generally discouraged. Use this only if device data and historical records are not required to persist. If needed, you can pair this setup with the `SYNC` plugin to store important persistent data on another node. See the [Plugins docs](./PLUGINS.md) for details.
 
-Below is an optimized `docker-compose.yml` snippet:

+## Overview - PIHOLEAPI Plugin — Pi-hole v6 Device Import
+
+The **PIHOLEAPI** plugin lets NetAlertX import network devices directly from a **Pi-hole v6** instance.
+This turns Pi-hole into an additional discovery source, helping NetAlertX stay aware of devices seen by your DNS server.
+
+The plugin connects to your Pi-hole’s API and retrieves:
+
+* MAC addresses
+* IP addresses
+* Hostnames (if available)
+* Vendor info
+* Last-seen timestamps
+
+NetAlertX then uses this information to match or create devices in your system.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Some tip.
+
+### Quick setup guide
+
+* You are running **Pi-hole v6** or newer.
+* The Web UI password in **Pi-hole** is set.
+* Local network devices appear under **Settings → Network** in Pi-hole.
+
+No additional Pi-hole configuration is required.
+
+### Usage
+
+- Head to **Settings** > **Plugin name** to adjust the default values.
+
+| Setting Key                  | Description                                                                      |
+| ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **PIHOLEAPI_URL**            | Your Pi-hole base URL.                           |
+| **PIHOLEAPI_PASSWORD**       | The Web UI base64 encoded (en-/decoding handled by the app) admin password.      |
+| **PIHOLEAPI_SSL_VERIFY**     | Whether to verify HTTPS certificates. Disable only for self-signed certificates. |
+| **PIHOLEAPI_RUN_TIMEOUT**    | Request timeout in seconds.                                                      |
+| **PIHOLEAPI_API_MAXCLIENTS** | Maximum number of devices to request from Pi-hole. Defaults are usually fine.    |
+
+### Example Configuration 
+
+| Setting Key                  | Sample Value                                       |
+| ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
+| **PIHOLEAPI_URL**            | `http://pi.hole/`                            |
+| **PIHOLEAPI_PASSWORD**       | `passw0rd`                                         |
+| **PIHOLEAPI_SSL_VERIFY**     | `true`                                             |
+| **PIHOLEAPI_RUN_TIMEOUT**    | `30`                                               |
+| **PIHOLEAPI_API_MAXCLIENTS** | `500`                                              |
+
+### ⚠️ Troubleshooting
+
+Below are the most common issues and how to resolve them.
+
+---
+
+#### ❌ Authentication failed
+
+Check the following:
+
+* The Pi-hole URL is correct and includes a trailing slash
+
+  * `http://192.168.1.10/` ✔
+  * `http://192.168.1.10/admin` ❌
+* Your Pi-hole password is correct
+* You are using **Pi-hole v6**, not v5
+* SSL verification matches your setup (disable for self-signed certificates)
+
+---
+
+#### ❌ Connection error
+
+Usually caused by:
+
+* Wrong URL
+* Wrong HTTP/HTTPS selection
+* Timeout too low
+
+Try:
+
+```
+PIHOLEAPI_URL = http://<pi-hole-ip>/
+PIHOLEAPI_RUN_TIMEOUT = 60
+```
+
+---
+
+#### ❌ No devices imported
+
+Check:
+
+* Pi-hole shows devices under **Settings → Network**
+* NetAlertX logs contain:
+
+```
+[PIHOLEAPI] Pi-hole API returned data
+```
+
+If nothing appears:
+
+* Pi-hole might be returning empty results
+* Your network interface list may be empty
+* A firewall or reverse proxy is blocking access
+
+Try enabling debug logging:
+
+```
+LOG_LEVEL = debug
+```
+
+Then re-run the plugin.
+
+---
+
+#### ❌ Wrong or missing hostnames
+
+Pi-hole only reports names it knows from:
+
+* Local DNS
+* DHCP leases
+* Previously seen queries
+
+If names are missing, confirm they appear in Pi-hole’s own UI first.
